The pieces are the reason for the price: double-weighted, which means a metal weight set into the base under the felt, so a knight has genuine heft and stands where you put it.

Boxwood and Sheesham give a natural cream-and-rosewood contrast rather than painted black and white, and both woods darken slightly with handling over the years, which is part of why sets like this get kept.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect for:\u003c\/strong\u003e A serious player, a significant birthday, or the set you buy once and don't replace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2 players | 16\" walnut board | 85mm Boxwood and Sheesham pieces, double-weighted\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dal Rossi Italy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49689173229720,"sku":null,"price":319.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0772\/8381\/9672\/files\/l2204dr_5.jpg?v=1786745865","url":"https:\/\/www.cartellgames.com.au\/products\/dal-rossi-italy-chess-set-16-85mm-boxwood-sheesham-double-weighted","provider":"Cartell Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
