The Ferrer Olive & Black Deluxe Chess Board is a handcrafted luxury chess board for players who want a playing surface with genuine character and warmth. Made in Spain by Rechapados Ferrer, it pairs warm olive wood light squares with deep black tulipie dark squares for a combination that is immediately distinctive among handcrafted wooden boards.
Available in 40cm and 50cm, both boards use the same timber combination and Deluxe construction standard as the Olive & Black Deluxe complete set — sold here without pieces for players who want the board to complement a set they already own. The matte anti-reflection finish brings out the natural warmth and grain variation of the olive wood without glare, and the black tulipie frame gives both sizes a clean, consistent border that anchors the playing surface.
Rechapados Ferrer has been producing boards in La Garriga near Barcelona since the late 1950s, supplying major international tournaments and chess brands worldwide. The Olive & Black Deluxe reflects that expertise in a board that earns its character through the timber rather than through decoration.
Olive wood is an uncommon choice for chess boards, which immediately sets the Olive & Black Deluxe apart from most options in the handcrafted board market. Its warm, golden tone and naturally figured grain vary between pieces and boards, meaning no two Olive & Black Deluxe boards look exactly alike. That individuality is part of what makes it a compelling choice for players and collectors who want something beyond a standard walnut or mahogany board.
The black tulipie dark squares are one of the deepest, most characterful timbers in the Ferrer range — producing a contrast against the olive wood light squares that is warm rather than harsh, and immediately readable across a full game. The Deluxe construction standard ensures the veneer work and matte finish match the visual impression the board makes.
For players comparing across the full chess boards collection, the Olive & Black Deluxe sits at the quality end of the Ferrer board range. For those who want a complete set with pieces included, the Ferrer Olive & Black Deluxe Chess Set is the natural starting point.
Olive wood shifts between pale gold and warm amber, with natural figuring that varies from board to board. The light squares on the Olive & Black Deluxe carry that character directly into the playing surface — a warmth and individuality that engineered or uniform timbers cannot replicate.
Against the deep black tulipie dark squares, the contrast is clear and easy to read at any angle across the board. The matte finish preserves the olive grain without glare, giving the surface a tactile quality that improves the playing experience in a way that becomes more apparent over time. With regular use, the olive wood develops a subtle depth that many players find adds to the appeal of the board.
At 13mm board height, the Olive & Black Deluxe sits flat and stable on any surface and does not shift during play. The playing area is smooth and consistent across both sizes, built to the Ferrer Deluxe standard that applies the same care to a standalone board as to the complete sets in the range.
Both the 40cm and 50cm versions share this construction standard, with square sizes suited to different Staunton piece heights.
The 40cm board has 40mm squares, suited to Staunton pieces with a king height of around 60mm to 78mm. It is a strong choice for players with a compact set of pieces or those working in a smaller space, and the olive wood character gives it a presence on the table that belies its size.
The 50cm board has 50mm squares, suited to pieces with a king height of around 80mm to 95mm. It is the more generous playing surface and the better fit for standard-sized Staunton pieces. As a general guide, the king base diameter should be roughly 75 to 80 percent of the square size for the best visual balance on the board.

The Ferrer Olive & Black Deluxe is one of the most visually interesting boards in our range at Sterling Chess. The olive wood light squares give it a warmth and natural variation that you simply do not find in walnut or mahogany boards, and the black tulipie contrast is bold without being aggressive. For players who want a distinctive luxury chess board that rewards closer inspection every time you sit down to play, this is a strong choice.

Olive wood has a naturally warm, golden tone with pronounced grain figuring that varies between boards. Unlike uniform engineered timbers, each board carries slightly different markings — a characteristic of genuine olive wood that most players find adds to the appeal of the board over time.
The 40cm board (40mm squares) pairs well with Staunton pieces where the king stands between 60mm and 78mm tall. The 50cm board (50mm squares) suits pieces with a king height of around 80mm to 95mm. As a general guide, the king base diameter should be approximately 75 to 80 percent of the square size for the best visual balance and playability.
Yes. The Ferrer Standard and Deluxe piece ranges are designed to complement Ferrer boards. Browse the [Rechapados Ferrer collection](LINK: Rechapados Ferrer collection) at Sterling Chess to find compatible pieces.
No. The Ferrer Olive & Black Deluxe Chess Board is sold without pieces. If you are looking for a complete set with board and pieces included, the Ferrer Olive & Black Deluxe Chess Set is the natural choice.
The warm golden tone of the olive light squares provides clear contrast against both light and dark Staunton pieces. The black tulipie dark squares handle the darker pieces equally well. The overall effect is a board that reads cleanly during play while remaining visually striking between moves.
The board ships in a durable carton case designed to protect it in transit. It does not include the branded Ferrer magnetic presentation box, which comes with complete Ferrer sets only.
Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use. Avoid harsh cleaning products and extended exposure to direct sunlight, which can affect the veneer over time. Store flat when not in use to maintain the board's shape and surface quality.
