The Dal Rossi Black & Erable Chess Board combines modern contrast with classic craftsmanship, pairing elegant black stained Tulipwood with the light natural beauty of Erable wood. Available in both Compact and Standard sizes, this board offers a refined playing surface suitable for a wide range of chess pieces and interiors.
The matte varnish finish enhances the richness of the wood tones while providing a smooth, low-glare surface that allows pieces to glide comfortably during play. The striking contrast between the dark black squares and the soft quilted grain of Erable gives this board a clean, sophisticated appearance that feels equally at home in a modern office or a traditional study.
Handmade inlaid construction adds depth and authenticity to the design, making this a beautiful choice for both casual games and display.
What is Erable?
Erable is a variety of Maple – in fact, “erable” means “Maple” in French. It is light in colour with a naturally rich grain, making it highly valued in decorative woodwork and chessboard construction.
