4.3" Sovereign Crown Luxury Staunton Chess Set - Chess Pieces and Ebony Board 23" (60 mm square)

The Sovereign Crown Chess Set is designed around one powerful idea - the Queen deserves to be the true centrepiece of the game.

Inspired by royalty, authority, and timeless craftsmanship, every element of this set has been carefully designed to create a chess set that feels as exceptional as it looks. The highlight is its distinctive Sovereign Queen, featuring a beautifully crafted crown that gives the piece a unique character and instantly sets it apart from conventional chess designs.

Handcrafted with meticulous attention to proportion, balance, and finish, the pieces combine traditional chess aesthetics with a contemporary royal identity. The result is a set that doesn't simply belong on a chessboard - it becomes the centre of attention.

Whether displayed as a statement piece, enjoyed over serious games, or presented as a collector's edition, the Sovereign Crown is made for those who appreciate craftsmanship, individuality, and the timeless elegance of chess.

Crafted with precision and elegance, this 23-inch chessboard showcases the rich contrast of ebony and maple wood constructed in an inlay type of construction. Featuring 60 mm squares, it's the perfect companion for your treasured chess pieces. Designed for durability and timeless beauty, this board is a stunning centerpiece for any chess enthusiast's collection.

A wooden board and boxwood pieces will outlast you if you keep two things away from them: water and extremes. Everything below follows from that.

The board

Keep it dry. Water lifts veneer and swells solid wood; a spilled glass should be wiped at once. Keep it out of direct sun and away from radiators, air conditioners and fans: heat and dry air make wood shrink, humidity makes it swell, and a board that lives next to a heater will eventually gap at the joints.

Dust it with a dry, soft cloth. Smudges and fingerprints come off with a cloth that is barely damp. If the surface feels sticky, wipe it dry. Once a month or so, a little beeswax or a furniture polish such as 3M keeps the lacquered boards looking new; our boards have a melamine lacquer that takes polish well.

The pieces

Boxwood wants the same thing as the board: no damp, no heat. Store the set in its box or pouch, not on a windowsill. Do not use polish on the pieces; a dry cloth is all they need. A piece that has taken a knock can be re-felted; write to us.

Folding and travel boards

Close them with the pieces inside their compartment, not loose on the board. Magnets do not mind temperature, but the felt does mind damp, so dry a travel set that has been in the rain before it goes back in the bag.

If something has gone wrong with a set, see the warranty or write to shop@worldchess.com.
