Hermes Samarcande Chess Set
Chess is simple at a glance, but far more complex once you begin to play. As it is with the Hermes Samarcande Chess Set. Named for the Uzbek city famous for its Registan plaza, the set's painstakingly carved pieces are mostly abstract representations of the King, Queen, Knights, Rooks, Bishops, and Pawns, each with its own delightful details. Both the pieces and the board are made from Java solid rosewood and Mahogany, meaning it should last a lifetime or more with proper care.
