Marble Chess Boards — Individually Set Stone Squares

The board is the harder half of a chess set to make well. Sixty-four squares of contrasting stone are cut and set into the surface one at a time, then the whole plane is polished flat together. If a single square sits proud, you feel it under a sliding piece — which is why the joins have to be right before polishing begins.

Board only

Buying the board alone makes sense if you already own pieces you are attached to, or want to pair a stone board with a wooden or metal set. Check your king's base diameter against the square size listed — a piece should occupy roughly three-quarters of its square.

Also a surface

Between games these read as decorative table tops. Several customers use them as a serving or display surface on a console, which the geometric inlay suits.
