Sculpted to stand out: Handcrafted in India, by the passionate designers of chessbazaar whose wish is to present you with the most wonderful ancient chess set. The turnings and carvings of this chess set were first quality and equal to those of the original Jaques sets.

The result of this hard work of these master craftsmen is a truly wonderful design and a masterpiece which any connoisseur will admire.

New Antique Finish Process: The new antique finish is accomplished through an innovative four-step secret process of color and rotational 3-D polishing for a uniform finish. This new antique finish even prevents pieces from cracks and splits and at the same time, it gives the set a look and feel of century’s old oxidized boxwood which is markedly darker than normal boxwood.

Felts: Thick green felt precisely envelops the base of each chessmen.

Uniformity of pieces: The shapes of turned pieces are guided by metal profiles and so all turned pieces are identical, especially the pawns. You can expect some variation where hand carving or cutting comes i.e. knights.

Weights: The set is heavily weighted with lead and so they are a pleasure to hold and will last for years if maintained properly in a dry and clean place.

Felts: Thick green felt precisely envelops the base of each chessmen.
