Chess Set with Storage - Fleur-de-Lis

Chess Set with Storage - Fleur-de-Lis

The fleur-de-lis has been the mark of royalty for the better part of a thousand years, and here it runs as a carved border right around an eight-sided frame — repeated, even, each one cut by hand, with brass coordinate studs between them. Inside sits a walnut and maple playing field. It is a formal board without being a stiff one: the shape softens what the carving might otherwise make severe.

A drawer glides out of the base and takes all 32 hand-carved pieces, so the board stays set up and looking like something rather than sitting half-cleared. That is the practical case for a chess set with storage at 19.6" / 50 cm — a size that lives on a side table permanently and never needs a box beside it.

A Gift Worth Giving

Made to order and hand-carved, so no two boards match. A good choice when the gift should look considered rather than expensive — the carving does that work on its own.
