Dal Rossi French Lardy Boxwood Black & White Double Weighted Chess Pieces

If you like the classic look of black and white chess pieces, this French Lardy set is a sharp choice. The Dal Rossi French Lardy Boxwood Black & White Double Weighted Chess Pieces are boxwood, with one army finished in black and the other in white. They're part of our Dal Rossi range.

The French Lardy design is a European take on the Staunton pattern, with rounded lines and a gently curved knight. You can choose an 85mm or a 95mm king. The 95mm suits a board with 50mm squares, and the 85mm suits a slightly smaller board.

Both sizes are double weighted for a solid, balanced feel. They're sold as pieces only, with no board. For more sets in timber, browse our wood chess pieces collection.

Black and white French Lardy chess pieces

Black and white is the colour scheme most players picture when they think of chess. This Dal Rossi set uses boxwood for both armies, with one side finished in black and the other in white. The contrast is clean and sharp, so it's easy to read the position at a glance. Want something bolder? See our Dal Rossi French Lardy Boxwood Red & Black chess pieces.

The pieces keep the familiar French Lardy shapes, so they suit everyday play as well as a set you leave out on display.

85mm or 95mm black and white chess pieces?

Both sizes are the same design in the same black and white finish. The only difference is the size of the pieces and the board they suit. The 95mm king is a full-size set for a board with 50mm squares, like the Dal Rossi Walnut Inlaid 50cm Chess Board With Storage.

The 85mm king suits a slightly smaller board. It's a good fit if you're short on table space or want a set that's easy to move around.

Our expert take

"Black and white on the French Lardy shape is about as classic as a chess set gets, and the double weighting gives the pieces a nice solid feel. The white pieces will show marks more than natural timber, so keep a soft cloth handy. For most players on a standard club board, the 95mm is the size we'd pick."
