Each chess set is exclusive with a lifetime warranty for natural defect. Each chess piece is hand-carved, well weighted, has felt bottoms and extra queens. The Phalanx Knight has an extremely well detailed curvature, as well as a prominent cross.

Ebony Chess Pieces are the prize choice of many chess aficionados. The purest ebony has little grain and is jet black in color.
