Where can we engrave?
Most popular: the front border of the board, or the storage box.
Also possible: the side border, a corner square, or the top of the rooks.
Every set is different. We'll confirm what suits yours when we send your proof.
The underside usually can't be engraved. Most boards and pieces are covered in felt there.

Black ebony against cream, on a board of ebony and maple. The knights carry the finer Rex Noir detail, and every piece is finished by hand so it sits smooth in the fingers. The board is thick and heavy with rounded edges. One customer called the finish on board and pieces top class.
- Double weighted pieces, so they feel solid and stay put
- A fitted wooden box for the pieces, with a slot for each
- Green felt under the board and under every piece
Best for the one good set a household buys, and for a gift still in use in twenty years.
