Cut into squares against cream and ringed with brass coordinate markers, it makes a board that looks less designed than discovered. Hold it up to a window and the veins run right through the stone rather than sitting on the surface, which is how you tell real marble from anything else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFifteen kilos across 15.7\" \/ 40 cm, with 32 hand-cast bronze pieces — crowned kings, robed queens, horse-head knights, all modelled rather than turned. Playing on a stone chess set is a slightly different experience: the surface is cool, the pieces land with a click instead of a tap, and nobody plays fast on it. That is not a flaw. That is the point of the thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrown and cream marble chess board with brass coordinate markers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32 hand-cast bronze chess pieces, 16 light and 16 dark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitted storage box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoard: 15.7 x 15.7\" \/ 40 x 40 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 15 kg \/ 33.1 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterials: natural marble board, cast bronze pieces, brass detailing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: polished marble with brass coordinate markers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEntirely handmade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine brown Emperador marble, veined right through the stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-cast bronze pieces with modelled faces, crowns and manes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass coordinate markers set into the border\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e15 kg of stone — nothing moves once the game starts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStone Rather Than Wood\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of the sixty-four squares is cut from natural stone and polished until it meets its neighbours dead flat. Nothing can be filled, sanded or glued back — a chip means the square is gone and another has to be cut. It is slow, expensive work, and it is why a chess set from stone survives generations of use without needing a single repair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Gift Worth Giving\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrown marble is the classicist's choice — warm, traditional, and immediately at home on a desk or in a study.
