Chess Set with Storage - Scroll Corners

Chess Set with Storage - Scroll Corners

The finish is what you notice first — a deep dark-walnut tone that makes the pale inlaid squares jump out of the board. Carving is kept to the four corners, where scrolls are cut into the frame, and to the drawer fronts, which carry a lattice pattern. Everything else is left clean. It is a restrained board that still has something to look at, which is a harder balance than covering the whole thing.

Drawers pull out on brass ring handles and take all 32 hand-carved pieces, and shaped feet lift the whole thing clear of the table. A chess set with storage at 19.6" / 50 cm is the practical size: big enough that the game feels proper, small enough that it can live permanently on a side table with the army inside it.
