About English Model No. 5 Chess Set – Olive Wood Pieces and Board

English Model No. 5 Chess Set – Olive Wood Pieces and Board is a characterful wooden set built around one of the most eye-catching natural materials in chess: olive wood. The pieces come in a natural/black colorway with a glossy varnish, while the board uses olive veneers paired with black-dyed veneers in a matte finish. The result is a strong, elegant contrast—each board and many of the pieces show unique grain patterns that make the set feel genuinely “one of a kind.”

The chessboard is handcrafted by Rechapados Ferrer, and the full set is designed to store safely: it comes in a premium cardboard case, with the pieces separated by foam so they don’t touch each other and the finish stays better preserved over time.
