The Ferrer Walnut Deluxe Chess Board is a premium handcrafted walnut chess board for players and collectors who want a clear step up from the standard range. Made in Spain by Rechapados Ferrer, it uses Ferrer's Deluxe board specification across both available sizes — a standard that is immediately apparent in person.
Available in 40cm and 50cm, the board pairs walnut dark squares with pale sycamore light squares and Ferrer's matte anti-reflection finish. The walnut and sycamore combination is one of the most satisfying timber pairings in handcrafted chess board production, and at the Deluxe level the finish quality and surface precision bring out the best in both timbers. This is a board built to complement a quality set of pieces and to improve with regular use.
Rechapados Ferrer has spent over six decades refining the craft of board production in La Garriga near Barcelona, supplying major international tournaments and chess brands worldwide. The Walnut Deluxe reflects that expertise at a level above the entry range — where the quality speaks through the material and the finish rather than through decoration.
Walnut is among the most sought-after timbers for chess boards, and the gap in quality between mass-produced walnut boards and genuinely handcrafted ones is significant. Most production boards use walnut-effect veneers or apply a thick gloss lacquer that masks the natural grain depth walnut is valued for. The Ferrer Walnut Deluxe does neither. The matte finish preserves the natural warmth and character of the timber, and the Deluxe construction standard ensures the veneer work and surface precision are a meaningful step above what the Standard range already delivers.
The difference between the Deluxe and Standard specifications is tangible in hand — smoother surface, more refined finish, and a board that carries a presence the Standard range does not quite match. For players and collectors browsing the chess boards collection who want a board at the quality end of the handcrafted range, the Walnut Deluxe is one of the strongest options we carry.
For players who prefer the same Deluxe construction with a mahogany board, the Ferrer Mahogany Deluxe Chess Board offers the same specification with a warmer, slightly more traditional tone. For those at the entry level, the Ferrer Walnut Standard Chess Board is the natural starting point.
The Ferrer Deluxe specification represents a meaningful step up in board production quality. The walnut veneer dark squares are selected with greater care for grain consistency and depth of tone across the full playing surface. The matte finish is applied to a higher standard, giving the board a smoother, more tactile feel underhand that becomes apparent the moment you play on it.
At 13mm board height, the board is solid and stable throughout. It sits flat on any surface without flexing or shifting during play. Both the 40cm and 50cm versions reflect the same Deluxe construction standard — the difference between sizes is purely in square size and overall footprint.
The smaller square sizes on the Walnut Deluxe — 40mm on the 40cm board and 50mm on the 50cm — suit a specific range of Staunton piece heights. The 40mm squares pair well with pieces where the king stands between 70mm and 85mm tall. The 50mm squares suit pieces with a king height of around 80mm to 95mm. 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 Walnut Deluxe is one of the finest standalone boards in our range at Sterling Chess. The walnut and sycamore pairing at the Deluxe level has a depth and surface quality that the Standard boards, strong as they are, do not match. For players who want a premium walnut chess board that rewards daily use and does justice to a quality set of pieces, this is where we would point them.

The Ferrer Deluxe board uses a higher standard of veneer selection, finish application, and surface precision than the Standard range. The difference is most apparent in the smoothness of the playing surface and the overall tactile impression of the board — it is a step up that is immediately evident when you handle both boards.
The 40cm board (40mm squares) pairs well with Staunton pieces where the king stands between 70mm and 85mm 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 at Sterling Chess to find compatible pieces.
No. The Ferrer Walnut Deluxe Chess Board is sold without pieces. If you are looking for a complete set with board and pieces included, the Ferrer Walnut Deluxe 50cm Chess Set is the natural starting point.
Both boards use Ferrer's Deluxe construction specification and share the same dimensions and finish standard. The difference is timber — walnut dark squares versus mahogany dark squares, both paired with sycamore light squares. The walnut board has a deeper, richer grain character, while the mahogany carries a slightly warmer, more traditional tone. The choice comes down to personal aesthetic preference.
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.
