About The Large 15 3/4" Folding Magnetic Rosewood/Maple Chess Set in Leatherette Case

DISCONTINUED: A delightful gift any chess player will treasure. At 16" square this relatively large folding wooden chess set is a marvelously smooth piece of workmanship with 3" tall pieces. It even has magnetic pieces

Detailed rosewood chess pieces in a rosewood and maple folding chessboard are finely crafted and finished for a well-balanced chess set in color and overall appearance.

Interior felted storage secures each piece for protection while two clasps keep the folding box shut. The closed box then slips inside a fitted leatherette case with snaps.
