Thus this prompted the local makers like Drueke or Horn and other manufacturers in the USA and Jaques in England to stop or reduce making quality wooden chess pieces. Lardy was the only company which revolutionized the whole chess set indusrty with their affordable prices \u0026amp; excellent chess set quality. The material which was mostly used by the lardy company is Jura boxwood, but maple and softwoods were also used by the french based giant. There's nothing fancy about this chess set but it has a traditional Staunton look which serious chess players admire for regular play.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis chess set was also used by \u003cstrong\u003eVladek Sheybal\u003c\/strong\u003e in 1963 released \u003cstrong\u003eJames Bond movie, From Russian with Love\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChessbazaar\u003c\/strong\u003e presents the reproduction of \u003cstrong\u003eFrench Lardy chess set\u003c\/strong\u003e where we have made this wonderful chess set available to chess enthusiasts at most affordable prices.
