Wooden chess sets are the perfect combination of material and craftsmanship

The wooden chess sets available at Luxury Products are handcrafted. They often draw inspiration from historical motifs, which helps maintain their uniqueness.

Our manufacturers create chessboards and pieces from ebony, oak, linden, walnut, maple, hornbeam, and sycamore wood. The pieces are often lined with leather. They combine oriental, modern, as well as English and French classic forms. Hand decorations, such as mother-of-pearl, give the sets exceptional prestige. We invite you to explore our luxurious offerings.

The history of chess

Chess is a universal game. Its homeland is India. It likely originated between 280-550 AD. At that time, it was called Chaturanga. Although this game differed from the current version, it had the same board. Chaturanga quickly began to travel the world. By the turn of the 7th and 8th centuries, it reached Persia. There, it was modified, and the rules began to resemble the modern version. This version made its way to Europe, first appearing in Spain and Italy, and then in other countries. In Poland, it was played relatively late, only in the 12th century.

Classic chess is known as the royal game. It was at courts where its first unofficial matches were organized. The first international chess tournament was held in 1851. Players met in London. Among the most famous chess enthusiasts were Richard the Lionheart, Casimir the Great, and Sigismund the Old. The latter particularly loved the game.

Wooden tournament chess sets vs. decorative chess sets, what are the differences?

Tournament chess sets are professional wooden chess sets used for official matches. They are characterized by exceptional elegance and the highest quality. At Luxury Products, we offer perfect sets from brands such as The Chess Empire.

Decorative chess sets are used not only for playing. They can also serve as a decorative element in your living room. They are perfect as a gift, even for chess collectors. We are confident that every chess player will appreciate the unique collections offered by companies like Italfama and Anframa.

Traditional carved chess sets or magnetic chess sets, which are better as a gift?

An elegant chess set can be an exclusive gift for both collectors and game enthusiasts. As a strategic game, it will surely delight school-aged boys and girls. The best young players participating in competitions are only a few years old. Interestingly, the world champion from Cuba played chess at the age of four. This is not surprising, as the game has many benefits. It teaches self-discipline, logical thinking, quick analysis, and strategy building. Therefore, it is worth encouraging children to reach for a high-quality chessboard and pieces.

For demanding chess collectors and professionals, it's worth buying traditional chess sets made from the highest quality wood as a gift. The pieces can have various designs and colors. We recommend collections from the Linea Argenti manufactory. For players who frequently travel to tournaments and practice strategies on the go, as well as for children, wooden magnetic chess sets are ideal. Thanks to the use of magnets, the pieces won't fall off the board during train or bus disturbances.
