At 48 cm x 48 cm, this chessboard gives you the space you need to become a grandmaster.

The red ash burl and black anigre woods give the board a solid feel you notice straight away.

The darker anigre keeps its tone clear under any light, while the lighter ash burl helps every square stand out.

Both woods pair together naturally and create a look that looks refined.

The board suits any room and has the durability to handle daily use without marking up quickly.

Premium Chess Bazaar Excalibur series chess pieces

The Excalibur Luxury chess set features rare bud rosewood for the dark pieces and boxwood for the light pieces.

Both woods carry a solid weight, giving each piece a firm feel as you move them around.

The bud rosewood shows a rich, natural tone that pairs cleanly with boxwood’s smooth surface.

These hardwoods resist marks better than softer options, helping the set keep its sharp look.

And the natural grain on every piece adds character you’ll never find in anything plastic.

Made by skilled artisans to the highest standards

The Excalibur Luxury chess set uses rare bud rosewood for dark pieces and boxwood for light pieces.

Each piece shows clean lines, smooth curves and defined edges that feel comfortable in your hand.

Natural bud rosewood and boxwood tones keep sides distinct and make every position clear while you play.

Overall, it’s a well-made set that’s now available in Australia for players who appreciate quality.

Frequently asked questions

What makes this chess set worth the investment?

This is genuinely heirloom quality. The Excalibur Luxury set uses bud rosewood for the dark pieces, which is rare and highly sought after by serious collectors.

Will the pieces feel substantial when I'm playing?

Absolutely. The pieces are properly weighted at around 2000 grams total, so you'll get that satisfying thud when you place them on the board. The king alone has a 50mm base, which gives it real presence and stability.

Is the board size appropriate for these pieces?

Yes, the proportions are spot on. With a king height of 118mm and squares measuring 60mm, you're getting the ideal ratio. The board is a generous 48cm square, so there's plenty of space around each piece.

How consistent are the pieces, especially the pawns?

The turned pieces like pawns, rooks, bishops, kings and queens are made using metal profiles as guides, so they're essentially identical. Overall, the uniformity is excellent.

What's special about the knight design?

The knight is inspired by King Arthur's legendary sword Excalibur, and it's genuinely striking. The sweeping mane and aggressive head shape give it a ready-to-attack look that really stands out.

Do I get extra pieces in case something happens?

Yes, you get two extra queens included, which is brilliant for pawn promotion during games. That's 34 pieces total instead of the standard 32.

How durable is the finish on the pieces?

The dark pieces are polished in high gloss lacquer, which creates a smooth, shining surface that's built to last. The boxwood pieces for the light side are also hand-polished to a rich shine. With reasonable care, these pieces will maintain their lustre for decades.

What kind of wood is used for the board?

The board features black anigre and red ash burl, which creates a stunning visual contrast. It's 13mm thick, so it's substantial without being unwieldy.

Is this set practical for regular play or just display?

It can be both. The felt protects the bases and the weights won't let the pieces tip easily. That said, it's so beautiful you might find yourself leaving it out as a display piece.

Where are these pieces made and what's the quality control like?

Each piece is carefully handcrafted in India by skilled artisans. You'll notice thoughtful details like the handmade dotted lines at the bottom of the shank on each piece.
