TOURNAMENT No6 intarsy FRENCH ACACIA 3.75"pieces

This French wooden chess set combines hand-finished pieces with a folding storage board, making it a practical choice for regular play at home, analysis, or display as a gift or desk piece.

The set includes 34 pieces, with extra queens for promotion play and endgame study. The pieces are weighted and have green felt bases, so they sit securely on the board and move smoothly across the squares. The king stands 97 mm tall, the king base measures 36 mm, the pawns are 50 mm high, and the 58 mm squares give the set a clear, easy-to-read layout during play.

French-style pieces with a polished finish

The French style follows a clean, elegant chess tradition associated with Lardy. The light pieces are made from boxwood, while the dark pieces are made from Indian acacia. With their handmade construction and smooth polished surface, the pieces have a restrained, classic look rather than a heavily decorative one.

The larger format also makes the position easy to follow, whether you are playing a casual game or working through an analysis. It is a straightforward, comfortable set for longer sessions at the board.

Board and storage case in one

The chessboard doubles as a storage case. It is made from beech and birch wood, with an inlaid playing surface of mahogany (sapele) and maple. Inside, a felt-lined insert helps keep the pieces organised after the game and protects them in storage.

The brown finish, classic square pattern and wooden construction give the set a calm, traditional appearance that works well in a home, office or living room.
