The Duke chess pieces have formal profiles and a glossy lacquered finish, with the most detailed carving concentrated in the king and knight. The king rises from a broad base to a domed top, while the compact knight has a forward-leaning profile and pronounced mane.

Available in three combinations—lacquered boxwood with lacquered ebony, lacquered boxwood with lacquered padauk, and lacquered ebony with lacquered padauk—the pieces have a smooth, reflective surface and a clear contrast between the two sides. The bishop and rook are simpler in form. Two alternative finials for the king are included.

With a king height of 4.4 in, the pieces are weighted for steady handling during play. The king base diameter is 4.4 cm (1.73 in), and the pawn base diameter is 3.2 cm (1.26 in). These proportions work well on square sizes from 5.5 cm to 6.0 cm (2.17–2.36 in), depending on whether a slightly denser or more open layout is preferred. Additional queens are included, and the pieces come with a Certificate of Authenticity.

For a complete set, pair them with one of our large chess boards. The Siena chess board is our preferred match for this design.
