Petrified Wood Chess & Draughts Set
£250.00
A chess and draughts set in petrified wood and antique brass — ancient material applied to ancient games, as much a decorative object as a playable one.
Most chess sets are either proper game pieces or purely display objects. This one works as both — the petrified wood playing surface, with its natural grain and mineral colour shifts, gives the board a depth and individuality that a printed or lacquered board cannot replicate.
Antique brass detailing adds warmth against the cool stone. Petrified wood looks like timber but is fossilised stone throughout — millions of years of mineralisation have preserved the original grain while replacing the organic material completely.
Set it out on a library shelf, coffee table, or study surface — it invites a game while looking considered enough to sit permanently on display when no one’s playing.
