There are some things that simply go together, and the black and white chess pieces are an old classic example. It’s precisely because of that contrasting color combination that makes this time-honored combination still be the accepted norm ever since the game has been invented.

Every piece here is handcrafted chess pieces work, carved from real marble and onyx rather than molded and painted to fake the look. Pick up the black queen chess piece or set it beside its white counterpart and the difference is obvious right away, that cool, solid weight only real marble chess pieces have.

Why Black and White Still Wins

There's a reason black and white chess remains the default look on nearly every serious board. The contrast makes every black chess piece and white marble chess pieces easy to track mid game, which matters more than people expect once a match gets complicated. This is classic white and black chess pieces styling done properly, not reinvented, just executed in better material.

Because these are cut from natural stone, small variations in veining and shade are normal from piece to piece. That's simply what handmade chess pieces look like when they come from real onyx chess pieces instead of a factory mold, and it's part of what makes each set one of a kind.

Tips Before You Play

• Confirm your board falls in the 12 to 16 inch range so pieces sit proportionally
  
  
• Slide pieces across the board rather than lifting and dropping them, to protect the felt base
  
  
• Wipe down with a soft dry cloth to keep the polish looking sharp for years
