These fine ebony chess men are called The Elegant Series for a very good reason. The knights superb carvings give us a toned & fit horse with amazing teeth & an obvious pout from his nostrils. Crafted & polished to perfection from only the finest ebony & boxwood, double weighted & generously felted on their bases. These pieces are a fine investment & represent a piece of craftsmanship that will last through many generations. These fine chess men will float perfectly across any of our lacquered or polished chess boards in sizes of 18 or 20 inches.
