The Emperor’s Chess Set
(5)
The Milano Notte Chess Set combines the bold contrast of Dal Rossi’s Black & Erable chessboard with branded Staunton wooden chess pieces, creating a set that feels both modern and timeless. Available in Compact and Standard sizes, this set offers a refined wooden playing experience suited to homes, offices, or thoughtful gifting.
The chessboard pairs elegant black stained Tulipwood with the light natural tones of Erable maple, creating a striking visual balance enhanced by the smooth matte finish. The handmade inlaid construction gives the board depth and authenticity, while the clean contrast allows the pieces to stand out beautifully during play.
The set includes classic French Lardy-style Staunton chess pieces crafted from Sheesham and Boxwood. The pieces are double weighted for improved stability and a satisfying feel during play, combining timeless design with the warmth and tactile experience only real wooden chess sets can offer.
