About Folding Ebonised Chess Board

Folding Ebonised Chess Board is a tournament-style wooden board with a deep, elegant look—without the premium price of rare ebony. The board is inlaid with maple or sycamore veneers that have been ebonised (darkened through an ebony-style process), creating an appearance similar to boards made from precious ebony. It’s also a strong alternative to wenge-style boards if you want a darker aesthetic.

Designed for practical play, the board folds for easier transport and storage. It features 50 × 50 mm squares on a full 48 × 48 cm surface, making it an ideal match for 3.5'' / Staunton No. 5 pieces (around 90 mm king height). On the underside, a smooth base material helps the board slide gently into position and stay stable on flat surfaces such as tables and desks.
