These solid rosewood chess pieces have been beautifully crafted, with contrasting colors decorating each side.

The Antipodean series chess pieces in rosewood are a truly unique take on the classic Staunton design, honoring the same distinctive features but with an artisan's touch.

The knight is a particularly special design, not overly ornate but elegant with a delicately carved, friendly facial expression.

Our partner craftsmen were inspired by the idea that in chess, while there is an enemy, your toughest opponent can often be yourself. Having both sides carry the same colors is an excellent representation of this. The fact that one color is provided by the expressive grains of exotic rosewood represents something else entirely: luxury.

In terms of material quality, each piece has been expertly polished, triple-weighted and felted on the base. These measures ensure that these contrasting chess pieces will never need replacing.

It is best to match this set with a 21.7-inch chess board or larger, with darker grains best complementing its colors.
