Some objects simply make people stop. A finely carved chess set on a beautiful table is one of them. Our handcrafted 20cm King teak chess set was made for exactly that moment, when a guest walks past, slows down and reaches for a piece.
Carved by hand, finished to a mirror gloss
Every piece starts as solid teak and is shaped by skilled artisans in Indonesia. Look closely at the knights: the flowing manes are carved one by one, so no two are exactly alike. Each piece is then sanded and polished by hand until it shines like glass. The set comes in two contrasting colours, warm natural teak and a deep, glossy black.
Why teak?
Teak has been prized for centuries for furniture and boatbuilding. It is dense, stable and naturally rich in oils, so it resists moisture and keeps its beauty for years. A teak chess set is not a seasonal decoration. It is a piece that can be passed down through generations.
The right size for tables and lounges
With a King of about 20cm (8 inches), this set is large enough to make an impression from across the room. Yet it still plays comfortably on a dining table, a café table or a dedicated chess table. It suits a chess board of about 70–90cm, like the printed cloth board in our video.
Perfect for hotels, cafés and homes
- Hotels and resorts: a welcoming activity in the lobby, lounge or library corner that guests love to photograph and share.
- Cafés and restaurants: gives customers a reason to stay longer and come back with friends.
- Homes and offices: an elegant centrepiece for the living room, study or meeting room, and a memorable gift.
Looking for something bigger?
