About The Heirloom Burnt Finish Grandmaster Chess Set
The full-size tournament style Grandmaster chessmen with 4" King are hand carved by master artisans from high grade woods. The pieces are heavily weighted for a superb chess playing experience and beautifully finished complete with a luxurious billiard felt base. These Grandmaster chessmen truly combine finesse and function - elegance amid frequent chess matches.
The chessboard is handcrafted in Pennsylvania from locally sourced premium walnut and maple woods. The process of creating the boards takes many months, from the drying and curing of woods, to the special cutting and assembly process, to the final details that include grooves, beveled edge, engraving, and the multiple finishes that gives it the trademark luxurious, smooth surface.
For display or frequent play, this heirloom quality chess set will be enjoyed for years and spare pieces are most likely available for many years should they ever be needed.

Product Specs
It’s perfect and beautiful. I didn’t know what to expect other than which the photos. The board is way bigger than I thought, in a good way. I scrolled through looking for chess sets that stood out to me and this was the second one to do that. While the other was more affordable the sale (160$ off) this board has right now made it a no brainer. Now’s the time to pick it up if you’re thinking about it.
Get the leather chess piece storage box, it fits all the pieces just right. I’m glad that’s the one I chose,
Such a nice set, hard to put too words
Get it! Just get it!
This is my first nice chess set and it does not disappoint. The board and pieces are top quality and the finish is impressive. The tiny details are all here, down to the weight felt in each piece as you hold it. Highly recommended.
Gift for my husband's 40th birthday, and he says "Exquisite and phenomenal! A truly timeless American piece!"
Received the chess set we purchased for our daughters Birthday and was very very pleased. We cannot wait to give it to her and it is something she can pass to her children in years to come.
Customer service outstanding! Attention to detail in my set is amazing.
Thank you for a wonderful experience…
Heirloom Burnt Finish Grandmaster Chess Set
My hisband loves it. The quality is immaculate!!!! The pieces slide effortlessly with the felt bottoms. You can tell each piece is handcarved and not mass produced by a machine. Very solid. My only regret is not buying the matching box to put the board and the pieces in.
Soo may alternatives on your site to choose from but extremely happy with my choice. The chess pieces are beautiful and excellent quality. Already playing with the set with my husband and daughter and granddaughter who is 5. Knows how all the pieces move after watching an episode of ‘Bluey’!
Lovely, superb!!! Nice set!!!
perfect, thenk you all...
My first upscale set. The quality and workmanship of each piece and the board were extremely satisfying. I am very pleased with the entire process.
Delivered quickly, awaiting to open it for Christmas.
Very nice looking - am excited to play chess for many years with such a beautiful set!
Is there an option to have the set personalized?
Ann, technically yes but you would have to purchase the items separately. For the personalized board you would purchase it here https://www.chesshouse.com/collections/chess-gifts-personalized/products/personalize-21-jlp-hardwood-usa-chessboard-with-engraved-maple-inset
The first option in terms of board options in this link would fit the pieces best but you can do either.
Here is a link to the pieces in that set https://www.chesshouse.com/products/4-burnt-pyrography-chess-pieces?variant=32275393985
Let me know if you need any assistance at all with this order, thanks!
Is it possible to get this chess board but with the burnt Zagreb chess pieces instead? I notice the heirloom sets don't offer the burnt Russian pieces.
Jeffrey, I don't have a combo for them but you can buy them individually

Let me know if you need anymore assistance!
Does this come with a box for the pieces?
Jeffrey, this doesn't come with a box automatically but I did add a section where you can purchase a great fitting box for this set!
Why do you advertise this as made in America? I am looking for a quality Chess Set and got to this set by following recommendations from Chess.com....and then found your Advertising Bait/Link where you claim this set is "Made in the USA"! Then, I see a comment saying .."A Truly timeless American Piece" and I think I finally got the right place to buy a nice Chess Set that is Made in America.
But I bother to read the write up also...where is says "Chess Pieces...Made in India". Obviously the verified buyer who is so happy they have an "American piece" doesn't really understand that ONLY the Chess board was perhaps at most...glued together in America (or perhaps only sanded and finished in USA) and everything else is made overseas.
Deceptive Advertising is never the right option, why?
Hi Gregory, there is no intent to mislead whatsoever. The reality is that the chess board is fully Made in U.S.A. from the woods that are sourced, the drying, cutting, gluing, sanding, and finishing. Everything about it fits that description of the chess board. The chess set description in question clearly says that the pieces are made in India. This expected with 99% of wooden pieces made in the world today. If any substantial part of our product is made in the U.S.A., then we will place it in the U.S. Made category even if one or more parts are sourced elsewhere. In this case, the chess board is substantial and exclusively such, so we feel it serves customers well who are looking for products of this category.
What type of wood are the chess pieces made from? I wish to buy a heirloom set for my beautiful son. Thanks
