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.

This set exists because of our customers. Rex Noir's Paris sets sold out in two months, and the customers who hesitated all said the same thing: they wanted somewhere to keep the pieces. So we flew to India and designed our own. A handcarved set, made of real acacia and boxwood on a board that opens into a felt-lined case. Small, smart, affordable.
- Double weighted, so the pieces feel solid on a small board
- Fits any coffee table, and closes with the pieces inside
- The beautiful Paris knight design, scaled down
Best for a living room or a small apartment, where the set can stay out and gets played.
