Premium 48cm walnut chess board

Measuring 48cm x 48cm, this walnut chess board gives you a compact tournament playing surface and with 50mm squares, spacing stays consistent and each piece can be positioned comfortably.

This is a high quality European-made chess board and the value is in the build. It’s handcrafted by world-class artisans so the grid is laid down cleanly, the squares stay even from edge to edge and the finish is applied evenly across the full surface.

That means fewer visual imperfections, fewer rough spots along the edges, and a board that presents beautifully on any table. 

It’s craftsmanship you pay for in a high-end set because it holds up better than mass-produced boards.

Walnut 48cm Staunton Chess Set With German Ebonised Chess Pieces

Handcarved German ebonised boxwood chess pieces

The handcarved German acacia and boxwood pieces stand out because of the woods themselves. 

Acacia is a strong, dense hardwood with rich grain and warm natural tones, making each piece visually striking and built to last.

While Boxwood is a fine-grained, dense timber that turns and carves exceptionally well.

Together, these woods give the set a satisfying balance and feel in your hand, combining smooth texture with lasting durability that outclasses typical plastic alternatives.

What our chess experts say

Frequently asked questions

Will the 48cm board feel too small?

48cm x 48cm is a compact size, but it’s still a proper board layout. The 50mm squares keep spacing consistent, so pieces aren’t crammed together.

How do I know this set is built to a high standard?

You’re buying a European made chess set from artisans means tighter execution on the things that matter: cleaner lines, more consistent sizing across pieces, and a more even finish that holds up better than mass-produced sets.

Is 3.5kg heavy enough to stop the board sliding around?

Yes, 3.5kg is a solid board weight. It helps the board stay put during play, especially when you’re reaching in for quick moves or resetting positions.

Are the pieces actually boxwood?

The pieces are boxwood, with a German ebonised finish. That means you’re getting solid wood pieces.

What’s the point of extra queens being included?

It makes pawn promotions simple. When you promote, you can place a queen straight away without using a spare piece as a stand-in.

Is the king size right for the board?

The king height is 90mm, which suits a tournament-style Staunton setup. It gives the set a balanced look against a 48cm board with 50mm squares.
