With its 10.2cm king, these ebonised boxwood pieces are a welcome addition to this particular size range of chess pieces. Each piece starts its life as a solid piece of wood that is expertly turned and skillfully handcrafted.

To create the black pieces, a set of natural boxwood goes through a treatment called ebonisation. It's a long and painstaking process, but the results are certainly worth the wait to create the appearance of ebony, without its price tag, and it also further protects the wood.

These pieces have a solid feel in the hand and, with their height and detailing, look very regal and elegant. These large pieces are nicely weighted and naturally polished with plush flocked bases in green. This set also boasts two additional queens for promotion. The Fierce Knight chessmen are great for home and tournament use and would be suitable for pairing with chessboards of 54cmor more.
