The round top sits on a scrolled capital cut in the classical manner, the base steps out in rings to take the weight, and the whole thing is worked from solid timber rather than assembled from panels. Before anyone mentions the game, this is furniture — the piece a room arranges itself around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe playing surface is framed twice: an interlace apron woven around the edge, and inside it a carved border of points running the rim with the coordinates set between them. On it stand the Crusaders. Thirty-two figural cast-metal pieces, a gilded brass host against a blackened one, every king, queen, mounted knight and castle-tower rook sculpted in medieval detail rather than turned on a lathe. Lift one and the weight is unmistakable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat that gives you is a luxury chess table that is never put away, because there is nowhere to put it and no reason to. It stands at proper playing height with both armies set out, and it stays that way between games — which, in practice, is the single biggest reason a chess set actually gets used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarved wooden pedestal chess table\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32 figural cast-metal Crusader chess pieces, gilded brass against black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTable: 23.6 x 23.6 x 27.6\" \/ 60 x 60 x 70 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 31 kg \/ 68.3 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: solid wood with cast-metal pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFluted column pedestal with a stepped round base\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\u003eA carved chess table, not a board on legs — column, capital and stepped base all cut from solid wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo full armies of sculpted cast metal, gold against black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterlace apron and a carved point border framing the playing field\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e31 kg standing at proper playing height, permanently set up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Gift Worth Giving\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a gift you wrap.
