This is our collection of authentic ebony chess pieces. Ebony is one of the hardest woods in the world and it polishes to a beautiful shiny obsidian black with no visible grain. Ebony is exceptionally heavy and is so dense that it actually sinks in water. Ebony has been the wood used for the black pieces for centuries because of its natural black color and heavy weight but it's also one of the most expensive woods because of the slow growth of the trees and limited availability.
Our high quality ebony chess sets are all handcrafted by highly skilled craftsmen one piece at a time using lathes and special turning tools. The knights are hand carved one knight at a time using a variety of different tools to achieve the detail added to each piece. All pieces are then carefully sanded, polished, and lacquered. Weights are added to the base for stability and balance and a thick green baize pad is added for a soft feel on the chess board. Every set includes spare queens for pawn promotion and a certificate of authentication so you always know exactly what your chess set is, when it was made, and where it came from.

Great pieces! Looks beautiful with my 17” board with a similar color palette. A bit on the pricey side, but worth it for a wonderful looking set. Definitely tournament grade quality and weight. The color is lighter than what is pictured as you can see.
I was really worried that the pieces are gonna be too light and/or uncomfortable to hold and I am released to say I was wrong. You can feel the weight of each piece and it is very satisfying to place them on the board, which is a work of art on its own.I also didn’t expect the board and the pieces to be that big. On of the photos you can see me holding one of the queens, it’s a very big piece. The board is quite heavy and has the same green fabric that all the pieces have. It feels very smooth and you can see and feel how well crafter it all is.The package doesn’t include any bags for the set, so if you want to keep it dust-free, make sure to get those separatelyAll in all, very satisfied with the purchase, a chess set for generations
I bought this set several months ago in the Burnt Boxwood /Boxwood for myself and have been delighted with my purchase. The pieces are beautifully designed and weighted. In fact, we were so pleased that I recently bought a second set in the Rosewood and boxwood as a gift for a family member. I enthusiastically recommend them. In addition, Hastha Kalalu’s customer service is excellent. I had some questions before each purchase and my questions were answered promptly and thoroughly. Shipping was quick and everything arrived in excellent condition. Can’t ask for more than this. Great overall experience. Highly recommend them!
My chess pieces and board were beautiful! We had a few that were damaged and seller was always quick to communicate and worked with me until they were replaced!
They're so beautiful!! They were a gift and he absolutely loved them. (:
If you are looking for a roll-up board then this green and buff board should be your 1st choice. The back has a lining and the board contrasts well with the typical black and white pieces. Very well made
A solid well made set. Great craftsmanship l love the wood.
Excellent quality
I am so glad that I purchased this beautiful Herman Ohme chess piece set. The workmanship is excellent and I received the product in a few days. I would highly recommend Chessnboards to anyone interested in a high-quality chess set.
I absolutely love these Romanian Hungarian Pieces. I had seen similar pieces in a YouTube video that showed old footage of titled players at a European chess tournament. I commented asking where to get them, but hadn't got a reply. So when I saw these, I had to snap them up! They are a joy to handle and to look at.
