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.

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.
