Classic Ebonised 4'' chess pieces

American Classic 4-inch chess pieces are a hand-carved Staunton-style set for home, club and tournament play, with weighted pieces and two extra queens for practical everyday use.

The pieces are made from boxwood. The light side keeps the natural look of the wood, while the dark side has an ebonised finish for a classic contrast. The American Classic design combines a clear silhouette with decorative carving, so the set looks at home on a wooden chessboard and remains easy to use in play.

Each piece is weighted for better stability on the board, and the felted bases help them slide smoothly across the squares.
