Our luxury chessmen are crafted to the highest possible standards from rare and exotic woods. Some of these woods are endangered and the chessmen are made from old existing stocks of the wood, in some cases stored for over a decade. The price of these materials is sky rocketing as a result and it's widely expected that within the next ten years the export of products made from these materials will have to end due to supply issues. Collectors therefore regard finely crafted and certified original artefacts made from these woods to be good investments. Their value is certain to rise.
Some of our sets are already matched with a chess piece storage case but not all. Each product listing has a "What's included" list under the images. If the set of choice is not listed as having a box, when you add it to the basket you will have a selection of up to 3 recommended cases that will accommodate the pieces in that particular set. If you would like to see the full range of our cases and cabinets, please click here, where each product will advise the size of King it is able to accommodate in the description.
