The French Staunton Walnut Set pairs classic French Staunton chessmen – acacia and boxwood with ebonised dark pieces – with a walnut board featuring 50 mm fields. King height 90 mm.

Walnut is one of the great board timbers: its deep chocolate-brown tone with subtle grain variation creates a surface that is rich, understated, and highly versatile. Paired with the elegant proportions of the French Staunton design, this makes a set that is as at home in a formal study as it is on a dining table.

A refined, tasteful set that suits both dedicated players and those who want a beautiful object for their home.
