About Rare Columbian Chess Set
Looking to buy Rare Columbian Chess Set that’s equal parts showpiece and daily player? Rare Columbian Chess Set is a luxury configuration built around the celebrated Columbian Series: flowing, criss-cross-mane Knights, planted bases, and smooth handling for confident over-the-board play. The matched Ebony/Maple board with Golden Rosewood borders and a protective leatherette coffer turn this into a collector-ready, Rare Columbian Luxury Chess Set without the guesswork.
Detailed Description Rare Columbian Chess Set
The Columbian Series has a reputation of elegant silhouettes and stability. Dark men are Ebony; light men are Boxwood—a time-honored, high-contrast combination that is legible enough to analyze and play in clubs. The piece geometry and board scale are in perfect agreement with a 4.6" (117 mm) king and bases that fit 60 mm squares. The companion board (23 x 23) is hand made to be as symmetrical as possible, and the felt-lined leatherette coffer with key keeps the army secure between sessions.
Need to compare such options as a Rare Columbian Chess Set for sale or even to find a Rare Columbian Triple Weighted Luxury Chess Set? This setup provides a large mass (set weight of about 5.0 lb) and smooth balance, thus a great reference point in the Columbian pattern.
