Red Epoxy Chess Set with Lattice Border and Brass Corner Feet — Handmade in Armenia
Marbled red epoxy fills the dark squares of this chess set, poured flush into a solid slab of pale wood with a carved diamond lattice round the field, brass discs for the coordinates and a cast brass foot at each corner. 15.7 × 15.7 in (40 × 40 cm), handmade in Armenia, with 32 turned pieces and a wooden box.
This is a solid, non-folding chess board designed to sit on its brass corner feet. The slab is thick and dense, the red is poured square by square so each one clouds differently between brick and cherry, and the pale wood between the pours keeps its grain running straight through the field. A fine lattice is cut round the squares, a moulded lip finishes the edge, and the four feet are cast brass in a scrolled pattern that lifts the board off the table.
The 32 pieces are turned in two woods — pale for one side, a figured red-brown for the other, with carved horse-head knights — and they ship in a wooden box with a black felt insert cut to hold each one, the board resting on top. Set it out once and leave it there.

Every piece in its place: a felt insert in the wooden box, cut to the shape of each piece.
Good to Know Before You Buy
Is the carving real? Real resin, real relief. Each dark square is a pour of red epoxy taken down level with the pale wood, which is why the colour reads as depth rather than paint; the lattice and the moulded edge are cut into the slab itself, the coordinates are brass discs let in beside the field, and the feet are cast brass screwed to the corners. Nothing is printed.
