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.

Everything arrives in one box and goes straight onto the table. Warm brown against pale cream, board and pieces alike, with the grain of real wood running through every square. The board is thick and heavy, with the rounded edges Rex Noir is known for, and it stays where you put it. Simple, classic, and made to be played every day.
- Double weighted pieces, so they feel solid and stay put
- Green felt under the board and under every piece
- A fitted wooden box for the pieces, with a slot for each
Best for a family that wants one good set for life, and for a wedding or milestone gift.
