Handmade Indian chess set – foldable and magnetic 30 x 30 cm
A handmade chess set in solid wood – with magnetic pieces, a foldable board and hidden storage. Made in India by some of the world's leading chess makers. A beautiful, durable and compact set for both home and travel.
Pieces and game experience
The pieces are turned from solid wood: the light ones from boxwood, the dark ones from acacia. They have magnetic bases and stand stably on the board's hidden iron core - even when the game is in motion. Inside, each piece lies in its own carved field, so nothing rattles around.
Details and function
The board folds easily and closes with a discreet magnetic solution without visible hinges or fittings. A construction that protects the game and is at the same time aesthetic.
For those of you who…
...wants a beautiful chess set of the finest craftsmanship.
...want a practical set that can be folded up and kept on, for example, the coffee table.
...want a set that will last a lifetime and that you will truly appreciate.
