About Marquetry Chess Board

Marquetry Chess Board is a tournament-style wooden board with a deep, elegant look—created without using expensive ebony. The board is inlaid with maple or sycamore that has undergone an ebony-style (ebonised) process, giving it a dark, premium appearance similar to boards made from precious ebony. It’s also a strong alternative if you like the darker aesthetic of wenge-style boards.

With an overall size of 44 × 44 cm and 45 × 45 mm squares, this board is a great fit for 3.00''–3.50'' pieces, and pairs well with Staunton No. 4 and many Staunton No. 5 sets. For everyday practicality, the underside includes four felt pads to help the board sit stable on flat surfaces and glide smoothly when repositioned.
