Blue Epoxy Walnut Chess Set with Brass Corner Feet — Handmade in Armenia
Swirls of blue epoxy sit in the dark squares of this walnut chess set, poured flush into a single slab of figured wood with a carved lattice band round the field and a cast brass foot at each corner. 15.7 × 15.7 in (40 × 40 cm), handmade in Armenia, with 32 turned wooden pieces and a carrying bag.
This is the wooden chess set that does not fold — a solid slab with the pieces on top and nothing to unclip. Each blue square is its own pour, so the swirl runs differently in every one, and the walnut between them keeps its grain straight through the field. A fine diamond lattice is cut round the squares, a scalloped moulding runs round the edge, and the coordinates sit in round brass discs.
The four feet are cast brass in a scrolled pattern, lifting the board a little off the table. The 32 pieces are turned in two woods, pale for one side and dark for the other, with carved horse-head knights, and the whole set goes in its bag between games.

Why You'll Love It
-
Every square a different sea: the blue is poured square by square, so no two swirls match.
-
Walnut you can see: light figured grain running straight through the field between the pours.
-
Stands on brass: four cast scrolled feet at the corners — a board meant to stay out on the table.
Good to Know Before You Buy
Is the blue painted or printed? Neither. It is epoxy resin poured into each carved square and polished level with the walnut, so the colour has depth and the surface is smooth under the pieces. The lattice and the edge moulding are cut into the wood, and the feet are cast brass fixed to the corners.

How do I look after it? Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from heat. Wipe the field with a dry, soft cloth; keep the pieces in the bag.
