Turquoise Epoxy Chess Set with Carved Pieces and Carry Handles — Handmade in Armenia
Carved pieces on a coloured board: the 32 pieces of this chess set are cut with ribs, leaves and manes, and they stand on marbled turquoise epoxy squares poured into pale unstained beech, with a carry handle cut through each end. 19.7 × 19.7 in (50 × 50 cm) open, handmade in Armenia, with felt inside and a bag.
This is the wooden chess set that gives a coloured board a proper army. Each turquoise square is its own pour, swirling between sea-blue and green and polished level with the wood; the frame carries a stippled band beside each handle, brass discs for the coordinates and an edge that waves in scallops. The pieces have ribbed and leaf-cut bodies, crowned kings and queens and knights with a full mane, pale wood for one side and dark for the other.
Shut, the two handles meet and the folded board lifts by the handles; open it the other way and both halves are lined in black felt for the pieces. There is no second game inside — it closes on bronze hinges and clasps, and the bag takes the lot.

Good to Know Before You Buy
Is the carving real? Yes. The pieces are turned and then carved — the ribs, leaves and manes are cut into the wood. The turquoise is epoxy resin poured into each square and polished flush with the pale beech, the handles are cut through the frame, the end bands are punched by hand, and the coordinates are brass discs. Nothing is printed.
