Design and Craftsmanship

The "Grace" set follows the traditional Staunton design, known for its clarity and precision. The knight is the standout piece, meticulously handcrafted with intricate details, adding a majestic and graceful presence to the chessboard. The remaining pieces are turned on a lathe and hand-finished, resulting in distinctive features and clean lines that enhance both their appearance and usability.

Materials and Finish

Crafted from boxwood and acacia wood, this set showcases warm and vibrant tones, giving the pieces a harmonious and visually appealing look. The natural grain of the wood adds texture and depth, complementing a variety of chessboards, particularly those made from mahogany or walnut. The careful choice of materials ensures both durability and beauty in each piece.

Functionality

Each piece in the "Grace" set is weighted for balance and stability, ensuring they stand firmly during play. The felted bases provide smooth movement across the board, protecting the playing surface while enabling easy handling. The inclusion of extra queens further enhances the set's functionality, allowing for uninterrupted gameplay during pawn promotion without needing substitute pieces.

Suitable for Tournaments

With a king height of 91 mm, this set complies with FIDE tournament standards. Its proportions are perfect for competitive or casual play, providing clear visibility and ease of movement. To properly showcase the pieces, a chessboard with square sizes between 50 and 55 mm is recommended, ensuring that the set looks balanced and professional.

Optimal Pairing

To enhance the aesthetic and functionality of the "Grace" set, pairing it with a high-quality mahogany or walnut chessboard will create a seamless and polished appearance, allowing the pieces to truly stand out.
