Crafted in the spirit of the original Jaques of London chessboards, this solid wood reproduction captures the essence of vintage tournament play. Made from premium-grade mahogany and beech, the board features a rich mahogany perimeter frame, adding elegance and structural refinement to the piece.
The surface is authentically aged to evoke a classic, timeworn charm. Each board is deliberately distressed by skilled craftsmen to achieve a warm, nostalgic aesthetic — a finish that speaks of history, tradition, and enduring quality.
Measuring 52cm with generously sized 60 mm squares, this board is perfectly suited to our tournament Staunton chess pieces, particularly those with a king height ranging from 3.75 to 4.4 inches. At 20 mm thick, it offers robust durability and a substantial playing surface, making it as functional as it is beautiful.
A superb choice for collectors, serious players, and those seeking an heirloom-quality board to complement their luxury chess pieces.
