Zagreb Zeal Chess Pieces

"Play Beautifully" with Rex Noir. Superior wooden chess sets, made the traditional way. Every piece and every square is worked from quality timbers by master artisans in Amritsar, in northern India, the city that supplies most of the world's best wooden chess pieces and where the carving trade runs back to the 1800s.

Rex Noir is our benchmark for traditional wooden chess. It strikes the best balance we have found between beauty and playability, which is why we call these 'proper chess sets'. The difference is in the timber, the shape, the finish and how long the whole thing lasts. It is what our own staff buy for their families.
