Description

Golden Rosewood & Acrylic Ivory 61cm Chess Table & Pieces Bundle

The Golden Rosewood & Acrylic Ivory 61cm Chess Table & Pieces Bundle is the boutique luxury chess setup in our range. It pairs our handcrafted Golden Rosewood & Acrylic Ivory 61cm Chess Table with hand-carved 3.6" Pro Staunton weighted chess pieces in Ebonised Boxwood and natural Boxwood. Table and pieces supplied together as a single complete chess setup, with the pieces proportionally matched to the 51mm playing surface for correct FIDE-standard tournament play.

Where our other bundles pair chess pieces with square-format tables, this bundle brings together the artistic and heritage-driven elements of our range. The round tabletop with its hand-carved traditional Indian inlay artwork on the border. The acrylic ivory playing surface delivering the highest visual contrast in our chess table range. The Ebonised Boxwood pieces providing striking black-on-ivory clarity that reads beautifully against the acrylic ivory light squares. The result is a chess setup with the character of a curated design object as much as a tournament-grade playing station.

For collectors who appreciate heritage craftsmanship, for buyers who want a distinctive centrepiece rather than a conventional chess table, and for gift purchases with genuine artistry alongside serious playability, this is the boutique luxury bundle in our range.

The table: Golden Rosewood & Acrylic Ivory 61cm Round Chess Table

The table in this bundle is the Golden Rosewood & Acrylic Ivory 61cm Chess Table, the boutique luxury chess table in our range. Handcrafted from solid Sheesham (Golden Rosewood) with an acrylic ivory playing surface for the light squares, and finished with hand-carved traditional Indian inlay artwork along the border of the round tabletop.

The defining features are the round tabletop format, the hand-carved elephant motifs and floral vines along the border, and the acrylic ivory playing surface. Master artisans hand-sculpt the inlay artwork directly into the solid Golden Rosewood using a decorative technique that only a handful of master craftsmen still practice today. The 25" (63.5cm) table height is designed for ergonomic seated play in deeper seating positions, sitting room chairs, and lounge chairs. The 8.6kg total weight gives the table stable planted presence during play.

The pieces: 3.6" Pro Staunton weighted in Ebonised Boxwood and Boxwood

The chess pieces in this bundle are hand-carved 3.6" (92mm) Pro Staunton weighted pieces. The pieces are carved from Ebonised Boxwood for the dark side (a deep, uniform black that reads beautifully against the acrylic ivory light squares) and natural Boxwood for the light side (a warm cream tone that complements the ivory board).

Piece dimensions:

Piece Height Base diameter
King 92mm (3.6") 39mm (1.5")
Queen 77mm (3.0") 39mm (1.5")
Bishop 70mm (2.8") 36mm (1.4")
Knight 63mm (2.5") 36mm (1.4")
Rook 53mm (2.1") 36mm (1.4")
Pawn 46mm (1.8") 28mm (1.1")
Two chess pieces, a light beige king and a black king, standing side by side on a black-and-white checkered chess table against a light grey background.

The set includes 34 pieces total: 32 standard pieces plus 2 extra queens for uninterrupted promotion play. Total piece weight is 1kg, with each piece weighted for confident stable placement on the board.

The Pro Staunton design is the classic tournament Staunton pattern executed to hand-carved standards, with weighted bases, felt padding, and refined proportions. The choice of Ebonised Boxwood for the dark pieces (rather than Golden Rosewood as in our other bundles) is intentional. Against the bright acrylic ivory light squares of this table, the deep uniform black of ebonised timber delivers the highest possible visual contrast and clarity. The whole playing field reads with exceptional definition from close range and seated distance.

Perfect piece-to-board proportions

The 39mm king base of the 3.6" Pro Staunton pieces sits comfortably within the 51mm squares of the 61cm Round Chess Table's 35-42mm recommended king base range. The pieces sit naturally on each square with proper movement clearance and no crowding. This is the correct proportional relationship for serious tournament play, delivering the visual clarity that FIDE chess equipment guidelines are designed to produce.

For buyers who want a chess setup where the table and pieces are perfectly proportionally matched, this is one of the best-fitted bundles in our range. The Royal Chess Mall specification lists the pieces' own recommended square size as 50-55mm, and the 51mm squares sit squarely in the middle of that range.

High-contrast board readability

The combination of Ebonised Boxwood dark pieces, natural Boxwood light pieces, Golden Rosewood dark squares, and acrylic ivory light squares delivers the highest-contrast playing surface in our chess table range. Where wood-on-wood chess tables produce warm, cohesive material continuity, this setup prioritises visual clarity: the pieces stand out crisply from the board, the alternating squares are unambiguous, and the whole playing field is exceptionally easy to read during extended play sessions.

For chess players who play long analysis sessions, follow published games, or need maximum piece recognition during blitz and rapid play, this high-contrast configuration reduces visual fatigue and improves piece recognition in ways that lower-contrast wood-on-wood boards cannot match. The functional visual benefit is genuine and shows up over hours of use.

Heritage Indian inlay artwork on the border

The border of the round tabletop features hand-carved elephant motifs and floral vines executed by master artisans using traditional Indian inlay techniques. This decorative craft has been passed down through generations of Indian craftsmen but is now practised by only a handful of master artisans in the world. Each table is unique. The subtle variations in the inlay execution are hallmarks of authentic hand-crafted heritage art.

The elephant motif is a longstanding symbol in Indian art of strength, wisdom, and good fortune. Appropriate imagery for a chess table given the game's own associations with strategic depth and considered play. Importantly, the inlay work sits entirely on the border of the tabletop. The 51mm chess playing surface itself is clean, uncluttered, and fully tournament-grade. The decorative border complements the playing field without ever interfering with serious chess play.

Our expert take

The Golden Rosewood & Acrylic Ivory 61cm Chess Table & Pieces Bundle is the boutique luxury complete chess setup we recommend for buyers who want something genuinely distinctive. The round tabletop format is uncommon in premium chess tables, the hand-carved Indian inlay work along the border is heritage craftsmanship of the kind that is becoming increasingly rare, and the Ebonised Boxwood pieces paired with the acrylic ivory playing surface deliver exceptional visual clarity for serious play. The 39mm king base sits perfectly within the recommended range for the 51mm squares, making this one of the best proportionally matched bundles in our range. For collectors who appreciate artistry as much as playability, for buyers looking for a distinctive centrepiece, and for gift purchases with genuine character alongside serious chess credentials, this bundle stands apart.

Frequently asked questions

What is included in this bundle?

The bundle includes the full Golden Rosewood & Acrylic Ivory 61cm Round Chess Table (with hand-carved Indian inlay artwork on the border) and 34 hand-carved 3.6" Pro Staunton weighted chess pieces in Ebonised Boxwood and Boxwood (32 standard pieces plus 2 extra queens). Everything needed for a complete boutique luxury chess setup is supplied in one purchase.

Why do these pieces use Ebonised Boxwood instead of Golden Rosewood?

The choice is intentional. Against the bright acrylic ivory light squares of the 61cm Round table, the deep uniform black of ebonised timber delivers higher visual contrast and cleaner piece recognition than Golden Rosewood would. The high-contrast configuration is a functional benefit for extended play, reducing visual fatigue and improving piece recognition during long analysis sessions or rapid and blitz play.

Are the pieces and board properly proportioned?

Yes. The 39mm king base of the pieces sits comfortably within the 35-42mm king base range recommended for the 51mm squares of the 61cm Round table. The pieces sit naturally on each square with proper movement clearance and no crowding. This is the correct proportional relationship for FIDE-standard tournament play.

Why are there 34 pieces instead of 32?

The set includes 2 extra queens (one for each side) so that pawn promotion can proceed without interrupting play. This is standard practice for premium tournament chess sets. The extra queens ensure a genuine queen is always available for promotion rather than resorting to an inverted rook or a substitute piece.

Is this bundle suitable for tournament play?

Yes. The 51mm squares and 39mm king base meet FIDE chess equipment guidelines for tournament play. The round format has practical advantages for rapid and blitz play: no corners for pieces to catch on, and easier movement around the table when studying the board from different angles.

Where can I buy just the table without pieces?

The Golden Rosewood & Acrylic Ivory 61cm Chess Table is available separately without pieces. It suits buyers who already own tournament-grade chess pieces or prefer to select their pieces separately from the chess pieces collection.

How does this bundle compare to the other bundles in the range?

This is the only bundle in our range built on a round table with heritage inlay artwork, and the only bundle with acrylic ivory light squares. The other bundles (58cm, 56cm, and Chessmasters 76cm) use square-format wood-on-wood tables with 4.1" Golden Rosewood pieces. This bundle uses a round acrylic ivory table with 3.6" Ebonised Boxwood pieces. The choice comes down to whether you want the boutique luxury artistic character or the tournament workspace character.

What material are the pieces made from?

The dark pieces are hand-carved from Ebonised Boxwood, delivering a deep uniform black that reads beautifully against the acrylic ivory light squares. The light pieces are hand-carved from natural Boxwood, the traditional light piece timber for premium Staunton chess sets.

How tall is the table?

The playing surface sits at 25" (63.5cm) from the floor. This is the most ergonomic table height in our chess table range for extended seated play, particularly well-suited to deeper seating positions in sitting room chairs and lounge chairs.

Does the table come pre-assembled?

The table ships with the legs detached for safe, damage-free transport. Attaching the legs to the base is straightforward and requires only basic assembly.

Is this bundle suitable as a gift?

Yes. The distinctive round format, heritage inlay artwork, and complete ready-to-play setup make this bundle one of the strongest gift purchases in our range. It works equally well for chess players and for buyers who value distinctive heritage craftsmanship.

Where is the setup made?

Both the 61cm Round Chess Table and the 3.6" Pro Staunton weighted chess pieces are handcrafted by skilled artisans, including the master artisans who execute the traditional Indian inlay artwork on the border.

The table: Golden Rosewood & Acrylic Ivory 61cm Round Chess Table

The table in this bundle is the Golden Rosewood & Acrylic Ivory 61cm Chess Table, the boutique luxury chess table in our range. Handcrafted from solid Sheesham (Golden Rosewood) with an acrylic ivory playing surface for the light squares, and finished with hand-carved traditional Indian inlay artwork along the border of the round tabletop.

The defining features are the round tabletop format, the hand-carved elephant motifs and floral vines along the border, and the acrylic ivory playing surface. Master artisans hand-sculpt the inlay artwork directly into the solid Golden Rosewood using a decorative technique that only a handful of master craftsmen still practice today.

The pieces: 3.6" Pro Staunton weighted in Ebonised Boxwood and Boxwood

The chess pieces in this bundle are hand-carved 3.6" (92mm) Pro Staunton weighted pieces. The pieces are carved from Ebonised Boxwood for the dark side (a deep, uniform black that reads beautifully against the acrylic ivory light squares) and natural Boxwood for the light side (a warm cream tone that complements the ivory board).

The set includes 34 pieces total: 32 standard pieces plus 2 extra queens for uninterrupted promotion play. Total piece weight is 1kg, with each piece weighted for confident stable placement on the board.

The Pro Staunton design is the classic tournament Staunton pattern executed to hand-carved standards, with weighted bases, felt padding, and refined proportions. The choice of Ebonised Boxwood for the dark pieces (rather than Golden Rosewood as in our other bundles) is intentional. Against the bright acrylic ivory light squares of this table, the deep uniform black of ebonised timber delivers the highest possible visual contrast and clarity. The whole playing field reads with exceptional definition from close range and seated distance.

Perfect piece-to-board proportions

The 39mm king base of the 3.6" Pro Staunton pieces sits comfortably within the 51mm squares of the 61cm Round Chess Table's 35-42mm recommended king base range. The pieces sit naturally on each square with proper movement clearance and no crowding. This is the correct proportional relationship for serious tournament play, delivering the visual clarity that FIDE chess equipment guidelines are designed to produce.

For buyers who want a chess setup where the table and pieces are perfectly proportionally matched, this is one of the best-fitted bundles in our range. The Royal Chess Mall specification lists the pieces' own recommended square size as 50-55mm, and the 51mm squares sit squarely in the middle of that range.

Frequently asked questions

What is included in this bundle?

The bundle includes the full Golden Rosewood & Acrylic Ivory 61cm Round Chess Table (with hand-carved Indian inlay artwork on the border) and 34 hand-carved 3.6" Pro Staunton weighted chess pieces in Ebonised Boxwood and Boxwood (32 standard pieces plus 2 extra queens). Everything needed for a complete boutique luxury chess setup is supplied in one purchase.

Why do these pieces use Ebonised Boxwood instead of Golden Rosewood?

The choice is intentional. Against the bright acrylic ivory light squares of the 61cm Round table, the deep uniform black of ebonised timber delivers higher visual contrast and cleaner piece recognition than Golden Rosewood would. The high-contrast configuration is a functional benefit for extended play, reducing visual fatigue and improving piece recognition during long analysis sessions or rapid and blitz play.

Are the pieces and board properly proportioned?

Yes. The 39mm king base of the pieces sits comfortably within the 35-42mm king base range recommended for the 51mm squares of the 61cm Round table. The pieces sit naturally on each square with proper movement clearance and no crowding. This is the correct proportional relationship for FIDE-standard tournament play.

Why are there 34 pieces instead of 32?

The set includes 2 extra queens (one for each side) so that pawn promotion can proceed without interrupting play. This is standard practice for premium tournament chess sets. The extra queens ensure a genuine queen is always available for promotion rather than resorting to an inverted rook or a substitute piece.

Is this bundle suitable for tournament play?

Yes. The 51mm squares and 39mm king base meet FIDE chess equipment guidelines for tournament play. The round format has practical advantages for rapid and blitz play: no corners for pieces to catch on, and easier movement around the table when studying the board from different angles.

Where can I buy just the table without pieces?

The Golden Rosewood & Acrylic Ivory 61cm Chess Table is available separately without pieces. It suits buyers who already own tournament-grade chess pieces or prefer to select their pieces separately from the chess pieces collection.

How does this bundle compare to the other bundles in the range?

This is the only bundle in our range built on a round table with heritage inlay artwork, and the only bundle with acrylic ivory light squares. The other bundles (58cm, 56cm, and Chessmasters 76cm) use square-format wood-on-wood tables with 4.1" Golden Rosewood pieces. This bundle uses a round acrylic ivory table with 3.6" Ebonised Boxwood pieces. The choice comes down to whether you want the boutique luxury artistic character or the tournament workspace character.

What material are the pieces made from?

The dark pieces are hand-carved from Ebonised Boxwood, delivering a deep uniform black that reads beautifully against the acrylic ivory light squares. The light pieces are hand-carved from natural Boxwood, the traditional light piece timber for premium Staunton chess sets.

How tall is the table?

The playing surface sits at 25" (63.5cm) from the floor. This is the most ergonomic table height in our chess table range for extended seated play, particularly well-suited to deeper seating positions in sitting room chairs and lounge chairs.

Does the table come pre-assembled?

The table ships with the legs detached for safe, damage-free transport. Attaching the legs to the base is straightforward and requires only basic assembly.

Is this bundle suitable as a gift?

Yes. The distinctive round format, heritage inlay artwork, and complete ready-to-play setup make this bundle one of the strongest gift purchases in our range. It works equally well for chess players and for buyers who value distinctive heritage craftsmanship.

Where is the setup made?

Both the 61cm Round Chess Table and the 3.6" Pro Staunton weighted chess pieces are handcrafted by skilled artisans, including the master artisans who execute the traditional Indian inlay artwork on the border.
