The Arno chess set combines the Florence chess pieces with the Asturias chess board. Handcrafted in India from ebony (dark pieces) and boxwood (light pieces), the pieces are unlacquered and hand-finished, allowing the natural grain and tone of the wood to come through. With a king height of 4.75 in, the set has a generous scale and a composed presence on the board.
The king base diameter is 4.9 cm (1.93 in), and the pawn base diameter is 3.9 cm (1.54 in). These proportions fit naturally on 6.0 cm (2.36 in) squares, giving the pieces comfortable spacing during play. The set includes one additional queen per side and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
Made in Spain, the Asturias chess board measures 60 cm (23.6 in) on each side. Its black-and-white design and non-reflective matte finish provide a calm surface for play and a clean contrast to the natural finish of the pieces.

Purchased this set for my son’s birthday. It is beautifully made and wonderful quality. The customer service was great and answered my questions right away. The board & pieces arrived well packed in separate boxes [had shipped to USA]. I think we will have this set in the family for generations!
