Our Contemporary Series is defined by stripping back all the detail to create bold, confident pieces that belie the ancient traditions of the game they represent.

Both sides are hand-polished to ensure a sharp finish, and are all weighted for absolute perfect balance, making them a joy to handle.

We have therefore matched these chessmen with the 17.75-inch deluxe quality chessboard produced by reputable chess artisan Rechapados Ferrer of Spain. This board combines the highly fashionable and contemporary wenge wood veneer, which has a rich dark colour and a fascinating geometrically parallel grain with beautiful light Maple. The board is constructed to exacting dimensions and quality veneers with clean lines, giving it a lovely, pristine contemporary look.

Putting these two stunning components together results in a very modern-looking chess set. A clean, stylish and minimal design that will complement many modern furnished households. If you are looking for a modern chess set, then this contemporary design will work nicely with up-to-date interiors and a luxury modern feel.
