About the Item
Chess Set - Board, Box
solid hand-made Ebony
Rock Maple Pieces
A unique and stunning creation from the Boucher
Co Collection created with meticulous attention to detail in the Toowoomba workrooms in Australia.
“The modern game of chess first appeared in the second half of the 15th century, almost 700 years ago. This deeply strategic game has always fascinated people of all ages, and it is a joy to create something so unique from incredibly rare solid black Ebony and Macassar Ebony. What a special experience to open this unique box, and be inspired and surprised by the beautiful and intricate craftsmanship of the folding board and chess pieces held within. One of only two in the world. And those handmade folding and locking hinges are completely unique and amazing” ..David Boucher
The Chess Board is framed with rare Macassar Ebony and inlaid with a unique double slip-match of Macassar Ebony and cream Shagreen squares. The unique, custom-made folding hinges are rhodium plated and allow the board to be opened flat and locked into position. The back of the board is framed with solid black Ebony and inlaid with red Shagreen.
Unique Art Deco inspired Chess Pieces are hand carved from solid black Ebony and Canadian Rock Maple.
The special Box to store the board and chess pieces is made from Macassar Ebony with three seamlessly inlaid squares of red Shagreen on the top. This design is inspired by the chess board the box protects. The interior is lined with luxurious red Italian leather. Two lift-out trays with polished timber handles are perfectly fitted for each chess piece. Under the box is finished with a protective leather pad with intricately folded edges. The high gloss finish is a very durable, hand-cut and buffed clear lacquer. Signed and engraved with the registered number.
