Galant Chess Set

The Galant Chess Set is a generous large-format artisan set: hand-carved hornbeam pieces with a king reaching 135 mm, on a board with 58 mm fields. At this scale, every detail of the carving becomes more expressive, and the set takes on a gravity that commands attention.

Hornbeam is one of the hardest European hardwoods, taking carving cleanly and wearing exceptionally well. Galant pieces have a classical elegance – upright, well-proportioned, and clearly Staunton-inspired without being mechanical. Board and pieces are finished to a uniform standard, creating a cohesive, distinguished set.

For players and collectors who want a truly substantial artisan chess set.
