Chess Bazaar 45cm black anigre and maple chess board

At 45cm x 45cm, this board gives you enough space to set your pieces and see the whole field clearly.

The veneer build adds a firm feel and extends the life of the board through years of use while holding its finish well.

Dark anigre wood keeps a deep tone and the light maple makes every square contrast beautifully to stand out.

Both woods pair cleanly and create a calm look that fits in any room without being too loud.

And the lighter weight makes it easy to carry and move around.

Meghdoot series chess pieces

The Meghdoot Series chess set uses ebony wood for the dark pieces and boxwood for the light pieces.

The ebony wood shows a deep, natural tone that holds up well paired with boxwood that has a clean, smooth surface.

These woods don't scratch easily compared to softer woods which helps the set stay sharp even with regular use.

Plus, the natural wood grain means each piece is unique, something you can't get with plastic.

World-class craftsmanship

The Meghdoot Series chess set shows solid craftsmanship in its weighted pieces and black anigre/maple chessboard.

Each piece is weighted and finished with smooth faux-leather at the base so the pieces themselves and the board is protected.

The veneered board has clear squares and an even surface that keeps moves easy to follow for players.

Overall, it’s a well made set now offered in Australia for players who value strong craftsmanship and reliable quality.

Frequently asked questions

What’s the chess set made from?

The pieces are carved from ebony and boxwood, and the board uses Black Anigre and Maple veneer. It’s a solid mix of durable, premium materials.

Are the pieces properly weighted?

Yes, each piece is weighted, giving them a steady feel during play without being overly heavy.

Does the board feel sturdy enough for regular use?

It does. The veneered build and 12mm thickness give it a firm, reliable structure that holds up well over time.

Will the pieces glide smoothly on the board?

They will. The faux-leather bases keep movement smooth while protecting the surface from scratches.

Is the 82mm king a good size?

It’s a comfortable size — tall enough to feel substantial, but not oversized. The proportions work well with the 45 mm squares.

Does the matte finish on the board make a difference?

Yes, the matte surface keeps reflections down, making it easier to focus during long games.

How portable is the board?

It’s lightweight for its size, so it’s easy to move, store, or take with you without feeling bulky.

Will the set stay consistent in different temperatures or weather?

The veneer construction helps resist warping, giving you more long-term stability than many solid wood boards.

Is this set suitable for someone who’s building a collection?

Definitely. The materials, finish, and classic look make it a piece that holds its value visually and practically.

Is the quality good enough for serious players?

It is. The sizing, weighting, and clear board layout make it a reliable choice for players who want a proper, well-made set.
