The Regency Chess Company Black The Down Head Knight And Deluxe Chess Set With Case

The Regency Chess Company

Great quality and value for money. Strong and robust. 3.25-inch (83 mm) king. Perfectly weighted and felted bases. 17.75-inch (45.08cm) board from Spain. Real Wood Veneers. Complete with chess piece case. Expertly crafted from carefully selected boxwood, this set of chess pieces represents exceptional value without compromising on quality. Each piece is carved from a single solid section of wood, ensuring impressive durability and long-term resilience. This traditional method of construction makes for robust, well-balanced chessmen that are built to last for generations-not just a few years. Part of our popular Down Head Knight range, these pieces are meticulously hand-polished to a subtle medium-gloss finish. The result is an elegant, refined sheen that enhances the natural grain of the wood without appearing overly glossy. The black pieces undergo a professional ebonisation process, imbuing them with the deep, rich appearance of genuine ebony while simultaneously strengthening and preserving the wood's integrity. To create the perfect playing experience, the Regency Chess product team has matched these classic pieces with a striking 17.75-inch black printed and light maple chessboard. Crafted in Spain by the renowned artisans at Rechapados Ferrer, this board embodies modern European design with its sleek lines, precision veneer work, and contemporary aesthetic. The bold contrast between the deep black squares and extra-light maple is visually compelling, making each move feel deliberate and engaging. A beautifully veneered grey wood base adds a final flourish, enhancing the board's sophisticated presentation. With its 1.9-inch squares, this board is perfectly proportioned for chessmen with a 3.25-inch king height-ensuring optimal spacing for both casual and competitive play. To store and protect your chess pieces in style, we've included a finely crafted storage box by the renowned Greek company Manopoulos. Expertly constructed from laminated dark wenge-coloured wood, this case offers secure, elegant housing for your treasured set. The addition of brass-coloured hinges and signature Manopoulos clasps lends a timeless, classic feel, while ensuring the lid remains firmly closed when not in use. Altogether, this chess set offers a harmonious blend of durability, craftsmanship, and aesthetic appeal. It's a timeless combination designed for daily enjoyment, occasional showpieces, or lifelong collection-ready to provide endless hours of strategic pleasure.
