    Luxury Chess Set

    Right at the core of Geoffrey Parker is our luxury leather chessboards, handmade to order by our master craftsmen to your specification. Our chessboards are compiled from separate pieces of Dauphin calf leather and we can make these boards in numerous chequer sizes, colourways & thicknesses. We tend to make a chequer’s width (where possible) around the playing chequers for the frame so that taken pieces can be put there if required. A non-slip charcoal suedette is used to trim the underside of the chessboards. The two thicknesses of chessboards available are single thick; 18mm / 0.71″ thick, and our double-thick; 41mm / 1.61″ thick.

    Our chess pieces are supplied separately to our boards, once you have chosen the size of your chessboard we will advise the right size chessmen from our collection. These can then be added to your order & we will carve these especially for you.
