ROMA – 51 cm (20.0 in)
Root of Walnut
High-Gloss Chess Board

The Roma walnut root chess board is handmade in Florence, Italy, using carefully selected walnut root veneer. Walnut root is valued in chess board making for its dense structure and naturally expressive grain, making it particularly suitable for high‑quality wooden chess boards.

Each veneer square is individually inlaid by hand. The swirling grain patterns of the walnut root vary from board to board, ensuring that no two Roma chessboards share the same surface appearance. The deep brown colour tones provide clear visual contrast with both light and dark chess pieces.

The Roma chess board measures 51.0 cm (20.1 in) overall and features 5.0 cm (1.97 in) squares. It is designed for tournament‑size chessmen and pairs especially well with the Earl, Vulcan, New York, and Viking chessmen.

The Roma chess board is also suitable for other chess sets with a King base diameter of approximately 1.4–1.7 inches and is produced in limited quantities.
