Basket-Weave Chess Set with Cast Metal Pieces and Brass Feet — Handmade in Armenia

A basket-weave lattice carved into every side of the frame is the whole ornament of this chess set — a flat, thick board in dark-stained wood standing on a cast brass foot at each corner, with 32 small cast-metal pieces, one army gold-toned and one blackened. 40 × 40 cm / 15.7″ × 15.7″, handmade in Armenia, with a bag.

The lattice on this wooden chess set is cut as crossing diagonals with a tooled band along the outer edge, then stained a deep brown and polished so the ridges catch the light; the squares are inlaid pale and brown wood and the coordinates sit on brass discs let into the border. The corner feet are cast in relief and raise the slab clear of the table.

The pieces are openwork castings — filigree bodies, crowned kings, maned knights and turreted rooks — small in the hand and dense for their size, sixteen in a gold tone and sixteen blackened. No hinge and no fold: this is a solid board that stays out on a side table, with the pieces in the bag between games.

Specifications

  • Size: 40 × 40 cm / 15.7″ × 15.7″
  • Material: beech wood in a dark brown stain, with inlaid pale and brown squares and brass coordinate discs
  • Carving: basket-weave lattice on all four sides of the frame, tooled band along the outer edge, moulded rim; cast brass corner feet in relief
  • Pieces: 32 small openwork cast-metal chess pieces, 16 gold-toned and 16 blackened
  • Board: solid flat board, does not fold
  • Base: four cast brass corner feet
  • Craftsmanship: handmade in Armenia

What's Included

  • Flat carved chess board with a basket-weave frame and brass corner feet
  • 32 openwork cast-metal chess pieces, 16 gold-toned and 16 blackened
  • Carrying bag

Why You'll Love It

  • Lattice all round: the basket weave runs unbroken along all four sides, so the board reads the same from every seat.
  • Metal on wood: small openwork castings, gold against black, on inlaid squares.
  • Stands on brass: four cast feet lift the slab and finish the corners.

Good to Know Before You Buy

Is the carving real? The lattice, band and rim are cut into the wood and stained, the squares are inlaid, the coordinates are brass discs, and the feet are cast brass. The pieces are cast metal — openwork bodies you can see through, gold-toned on one side and blackened on the other. Nothing is printed.

What about shipping and returns? Shipping is free worldwide and tracked. Every set is covered by our 30-day returns policy.

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