Petrified Wood Chess Set

A twenty-inch board tiled in petrified wood — black squares against pale ivory, each one carrying its own grain and fracture — set into a black frame. The pieces are turned cylinders rather than carved figures, which keeps the whole thing reading as an object rather than a toy. More in home decor. Details Dimensions: 20"L x 20"W x 2"H Board: Petrified wood tiles in black and ivory Frame: Black, raised edge Pieces: Turned cylindrical forms in matching black and ivory Use: Coffee table, office, library or games room Styling It earns a coffee table in our living room furniture because it looks deliberate even mid-game. Leave it set up rather than boxed away. In a study it pairs with leather and dark wood from our office furniture; keep the surrounding surface clear so the board is the only pattern in play. Care Dust the board with a soft, dry cloth Do not soak — stone tiles are set with adhesive Lift the board with both hands from underneath Store pieces off the board if moving it
