Features : Reproduced French Lardy Staunton weighted chess pieces with a 3.7" King and base diameter of 1.5" and have thick green felt on their bases. This set is Double Weighted and is based on the original chess set made by the Lardy Chess Company in France. The dark chess pieces are made in Ebonized Boxwood and the lighter chess pieces are made in Boxwood.

Design & Quality: Handcrafted in India, these chess pieces exude traditional staunton look and style. The pieces have been appropriately weighted making them very stable on board and a pleasure to touch and feel. Each piece is meticulously turned and hand carved by our master craftsmen and then we buff polish each piece by hand to give a beautiful and long lasting shine.

The famous France based chess piece manufacturer "Lardy" was situated in Dortan, Oyonnax in the French Jura. In 1950s and 60s Lardy exported large numbers of chess sets to the major markets like USA and England, where they were commercialized by games brands such as Cavalier, Drueke, Lowe, Sterling and others. 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.

This chess set was also used by Vladek Sheybal in 1963 released James Bond movie, From Russian with Love.
