Square hardstone chessboard top, polished finish

Description
Square hardstone top made in natural marble and onyx, hand-cut with a polished finish. The bright surface brings out the figure and the colours, giving the chessboard an elegant, contemporary look suited to any room.

It can be used both as a chess playing surface and as a decorative element. By adding wrought iron or turned wooden legs, it easily becomes a refined living-room table.

Every piece is unique: marble and onyx have natural figure and shading that cannot be repeated, which gives the piece character and value. The contrast between the pale marble and the darker onyx creates a well-chosen decorative effect.

Colour
Natural tones of brown, beige and white, with the variations typical of marble and onyx.
