Beautiful work on the board and pieces

Product picture

I absolutely love the board and playing pieces but the storage case is less than ideal. Under the cover of the side where the product images show the playing piece storage is a mess of broken styrofoam. A picture of this is attached to this. Side note: on the product page images showing the board set up with pieces, the back row of pieces is set up incorrectly. From left to right it should be Rook-Knight-Bishop-Queen-King-Bishop-Knight-Rook.

Beautiful and well made

This is a beautiful handcrafted chess set! It is really well made, and crafted with high quality materials. This was a Christmas gift for my husband and he loved it!

This is now a cherished airloom
