About Ebonised Wood Marquetry Chess Board

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

NOTE: Chess pieces in the photos are NOT INCLUDED and can be purchased separately.

With an overall size of 44 × 44 cm and 45 × 45 mm squares, this board is a great match 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.

This version comes without alphanumeric notation, making the playing surface clean and minimalist—ideal for players who prefer a classic, uncluttered look.
