Chess Bazaar Imperial Collector Series Chess Set

Relive chess history with the Imperial Collector Series V2 chess set, inspired by the Sinquefield Cup 2014.

This set brings back the same style used by some of the best players in the world but shaped with tighter carving and a cleaner finish.

The pieces use rare bud rosewood for the dark side and boxwood for the light side. Both woods hold detail well and keep each move controlled.

The included board uses santos palisander and sycamore to keep the surface firm and the colours clean.

This chess set gives you a small link to a moment when top players fought for every point, and it makes each game a little more special.

Premium 55cm Chess Bazaar chess board

This chessboard feels solid because these two premium woods work together.

Palisander gives you dark squares with strong contrast and its strength means the board holds its shape without warping.

Sycamore makes the light squares bright and consistent, so it's easy to see the whole board. Its tight grain keeps the surface flat so each piece sits evenly and doesn't wobble.

You end up with a luxurious chessboard that’s still functional and stands up to heavy use.

Imperial collector series chess pieces inspired by the 2014 Sinquefield Cup

The Imperial Collector Series V2 takes inspiration from the 2014 Sinquefield Cup design, now made with rare bud rosewood and boxwood.

The dark bud rosewood pieces feature a rich, reddish-brown colour and the lighter boxwood pieces have a warm colour that shows off the details.

Both types of hardwood hold their shape well which helps every move feel solid.

And the smooth finish keeps each piece comfortable to handle and simple to place.

This improved version gives you better balance, cleaner lines and a more confident feel in every game.

Handcrafted by world-class artisans

The Chess Bazaar Imperial Collector Series V2 chess set has the same quality as the sets used in big tournaments.

Every chess piece is hand carved that shows clean lines, curves and distinct edges.

The santos palisander and sycamore board offers a generous space to play in and a smooth surface that creates a great playing experience.

It's a well crafted chess set that’s now available to players in Australia who value true workmanship.

Yes. Each piece is weighted by hand so they sit firm on the board and feel stable during long games.

Will the pieces hold their shape over time?

Both bud rosewood and boxwood are hardwoods that keep detail well, so the shapes stay clean even with regular use.

Is the board large enough for easy movement?

The board uses 55 millimetre squares which give you plenty of room to move pieces without feeling cramped.

Does the matte board finish affect visibility?

The matte finish reduces shine so the colours stay clear and the squares stay easy to see in any light.

Are extra queens included in the set?

Yes. You get an extra queen for each side so promotions stay simple and you don’t need to swap pieces.

Is the craftsmanship worth the price?

Each set takes days to carve by hand. You’re paying for tight detail, balanced weight and wood that ages well.

Bud rosewood deepens slightly over time and boxwood stays warm, so the pieces keep a natural look for years.

Is this set suitable for display as well as play?

It was made for play, but the detail, finish and wood quality make it a strong display piece too.

Can this set handle regular weekly use?

Yes. The hardwood pieces, felt bases and steady board thickness are built for repeat games without wear showing fast.
