The Emperor’s Chess Set
(5)
The Istanbul Prestige Chess Set combines large hand-carved Padauk chess pieces with a refined Wenge and Sycamore chessboard by Ferrer Chess. Part of the Rex Noir luxury collection, it offers a bold, warm-toned look with substantial proportions.
The 114mm chess pieces are crafted from Padauk and Boxwood, with rich reddish tones contrasting beautifully against the lighter pieces. Their substantial size and careful weighting give them a confident feel during play, while green felt bases provide smooth movement across the board.
The chessboard is handmade in Spain using premium natural wood veneer with a classic Wenge aesthetic and Sycamore. The deep chocolate-brown squares, diagonal frame, and matte varnish finish give the board a refined and elegant appearance.
A leatherette storage case with green felt lining is also included, providing secure storage for all 34 chessmen.
