What Makes a Chess Set Luxury
Luxury begins with extraordinary materials. Ebony, rosewood, Italian marble, solid brass and bronze are chosen for their density, colour and natural elegance. Every piece is hand carved, hand turned or lost wax cast in limited runs, then polished or lacquered to jewellery-grade lustre. The result is an heirloom chess set that feels substantial, looks breathtaking and tells a story of master craftsmanship passed down through generations.
Investing in a luxury chess set offers long term value. Superior hardwoods resist wear, metal pieces keep perfect balance, stone boards last centuries. Limited edition certificates and numbered bases add collector appeal, giving well-kept sets strong resale potential and lasting prestige.
