The Marshall Series Luxury Chess Set - 4.4 inch King is available in the following woods:
Ebonized Boxwood:
WOOD DESCRIPTION: Also known as faux Ebony, Ebonized Boxwood is created when Boxwood is treated with a specialized stain to create the look of Ebony. When done properly, it can be difficult to distinguish between an ebonized and ebony piece when brand new. It is perfect for those who want the classical look of a Genuine Ebony Chess set at an affordable price.
Black and Natural Lacquered
WOOD DESCRIPTION: To create Black and Natural Lacquered Chessmen, Boxwood pieces are painted with black lacquer or clear-coat Lacquer and then hand-rubbed with fine pumice stone. The result is a hard, durable water-resistant finish which has a very high gloss.
Red and Ivory Lacquered
WOOD DESCRIPTION: To create Red and Ivory Lacquered Chessmen, Boxwood pieces are painted with red lacquer or ivory Lacquer and then hand-rubbed with fine pumice stone. The result is a hard, durable water-resistant finish which has a very high gloss.

Boxwood and Rosewood
WOOD DESCRIPTION: With its dark brown color and aggressive grain patterns, Rosewood is the perfect choice for those that truly appreciate the natural beauty of wood.

Boxwood and Genuine Ebony
WOOD DESCRIPTION: The most famous of the ornamental woods, Genuine Ebony is a luxurious hardwood that is a prized for its jet black color, very fine grain and overall beauty. Genuine Ebony is considered to be the quintessential Chess set by Chess collectors that appreciate the purity of the White army versus the Black army on the 64-square battlefield.
Boxwood and Blood Rosewood
WOOD DESCRIPTION: 'Beautiful', 'Exotic' and 'Striking' are just a few of the adjectives that Chess collectors use to describe Blood Rosewood. The rarest and most expensive of the hardwoods, it is characterized by its striking dark red color and subtle grain patterns. Its color is often compared to that of red wine and it is truly our most luxurious wood.
