Premium, high-quality chess pieces with a standout Derby Knight design — a galloping look you don’t see in most sets and it’s what makes this set so special.

Each piece is carefully carved, beautifully polished, and made in Europe by skilled craftsmen using carving and burning techniques so every set has detail and character modern mass production just can’t match.

Made from ebony for the dark pieces and boxwood for the light pieces, you get a high-end set with a 10cm king that feels good in your hand and looks good on the board.

About the pieces

The Derby Knight design is the standout here, with a rare galloping look that brings more life to the set.

These are premium, high-quality pieces handmade from ebony and boxwood because of its hardness and fine grain. It’s considered the best wood for intricate, detailed carving, particularly in Staunton-style sets.

They’re made using traditional techniques like carving and burning, giving you character you won’t get from modern mass production.

What our chess experts think

Frequently asked questions

What woods were used to make these chess pieces?

They’re made from ebony for the dark pieces and boxwood for the light pieces, and the full set weighs 2.5kg.

What makes the knight design different from other chess sets?

The knight is carved with a rare galloping look, with a slightly inclined head, upright ears, a tousled mane, and an open muzzle, so it feels more alive than the usual static style.

Are these mass-produced, or is there real craftsmanship?

They’re made by craftsmen using techniques like carving and burning, and the set is carefully carved and beautifully polished, so you can see the hand-finished detail.

Will the pieces feel smooth to handle, or rough from carving?

They’re beautifully polished, so the surfaces feel smooth in your hand while still keeping the carved detail sharp and clean.

Where are these chess pieces made?

They’re manufactured in Europe by craftsmen working with Sunrise Chess & Games, using traditional methods aimed at creating higher quality chess pieces.

Is this more of a display set, or can you actually play with it regularly?

It’s built as a proper solid set, and the polished finish is there for smooth handling, so it suits both regular use and leaving it out on display.
