The worlds finest chess pieces from ChessBaron. In listing luxury chess sets we look for such things as weighting, the material it’s made from, detail, and so on. Most fine sets of chess men such as these have extra Queens for pawn promotion, and are triple weighted (added weight in the base for on-board stability). Materials used in the manufacture of luxury chess sets are ebony, bud rosewood (also known as redwood or budrose), padauk, maple, sheesham, acacia and some others. Many of our luxurious chess sets have beautiful carved detail. Senior chess artisans work on the knights and oversee the manufacture of the other pieces in the set. Most of them need to have a chess board selected as an extra item.
I have a few chess sets, and one 'best' set (pictured) that looks and feels great. Chess sets can come in all sorts of sizes, designs and materials to suit just about any taste or budget. From pocket sets to giant sets, plastic to rare and beautiful woods, Staunton design to... well, what's the most...
We have a selection of other chess sets from materials ranging from glass and metal to marble, alabaster, and more.
Staunton was created for a reason (see Staunton Origin). But why not have a staunton based design with a significant tweak on the style – an unusual chess set. Of course, it’s still a quality product, and still crafted with great skill, many are still weighted, and most of ours are Staunton based. But with the increased popularity of chess, many more unusual designs are available and are a perfect unique gift idea. An unusual chess set, something that isn’t seen in many homes but we hope it will be in yours soon.

ChessBaron has many unique designs to compliment the extensive range of chess computers and chess pieces of which this section is an example. Few people own sets of chess pieces to equal the beauty of each chess piece in this range. Like Rosewood, or Ebony? Like natural wood, or a gloss colored finish. Metal perhaps?
