Classic Ebonised 3,5" chess pieces

American Classic 3.5-inch carved wooden chess pieces are a classic Staunton-style set made for everyday play at home, in the club and in tournament games. They combine a traditional look with practical handling: the pieces are weighted, comfortable to hold and move smoothly across the board.

The set includes 32 chess pieces — 16 light and 16 dark — plus 2 extra queens for pawn promotion in longer games. The king stands 90 mm tall and the pawn 45 mm, so the set pairs best with a chessboard with 50 mm squares.

Classic style, practical handling

The pieces are made from boxwood, with the dark side finished in an ebony-inspired colour. Their carved shape gives the set a familiar, balanced profile that works well both during play and as part of a home collection.

Weighted bases and felted bottoms help the pieces sit securely on the board and move without scratching the surface. That makes this set a sensible choice for regular family games as well as more frequent club use.
