In the Carpathian Mountains of eastern Europe, home of the dragon and the vampire legends, artisans still draw deep from a wellspring of history dating back centuries, honoring the finest traditions in wood carving. This chess set is named after the mythical deity Zaria, the Goddess of Beauty - and if she played chess, this set is the one she'd use!
These unique and handsomely designed chess pieces are made of Hornbeam and Sycamore, both woods from the forests of Europe. Hornbeam (sometimes known as Ironwood) is mostly white and used for intricate and decorative carvings. Sycamore offers a dark brown, smooth textured wood, perfect for the dark pieces. The wood then meets the craftsmanship of our master artisans, resulting in the finest moderately priced chess set available in the marketplace today.
