New Antique Finish Process: The new antique finish is accomplished through an innovative four-step secret process of color and rotational 3-D polishing for a uniform finish. This new antique finish even prevents pieces from cracks and splits and at the same time, it gives the set a look and feel of century’s old oxidized boxwood which is markedly darker than normal boxwood.
Felts: Thick green felt precisely envelops the base of each chessmen.
