Full 15-Inch Natural Marble — The Right Set When the Box Is Not the Point

The White & Black Marble Chess Set with Storage Box costs $172. This set costs $125. The board is the same 15 × 15-inch natural white and black marble. The 32 pieces are the same hand-carved, hand-polished natural stone. The felt base on the board and the individual felt bottoms for every piece are the same. The only thing missing is the storage box — and for buyers who want a 15-inch marble chess set for their own home, already have a storage solution, or do not need presentation packaging for gifting, there is no reason to pay $47 for a box.

The white-dominant board — white marble frame, bright white alternating squares, clean white base — makes this set the right choice for bright, light-filled interiors: contemporary rooms, Scandinavian-styled spaces, Hamptons aesthetics, white-walled studies, and any home where natural stone in neutral tones belongs permanently on a surface rather than being stored between uses. At $125, this is the most accessible entry point to a genuine 15-inch handmade natural marble chess set in the white-dominant colorway.

Designed for Permanent Display and Regular Play

This is the set for buyers who know exactly where it is going. On a coffee table, it stays. On a desk in a home office, it stays. On a bookshelf, a console, a sideboard — it stays, and it looks like it belongs there. The white-dominant natural marble works in any interior that leans bright: white walls, light wood furniture, neutral linen, natural stone surfaces. The 15-inch board is large enough to command a surface without overpowering it, and the natural weight keeps it exactly where you put it.

As a gift, this is the right choice when the recipient has their own storage solution and the presentation packaging is not required — for a self-purchasing buyer upgrading from a plastic or wooden set, for a chess player who wants a display-quality set for their study, or for a homeowner who appreciates natural materials and wants the cleanest, brightest chess set available in natural stone at this size. For gifting where presentation packaging matters, the White & Black 15-inch with Storage Box at $172 is the more complete option.

Materials & Craftsmanship — Natural White Marble, Individually Hand-Carved

The white pieces and white board surfaces are carved from natural white marble — a fine-grained metamorphic stone that polishes to a bright, clean surface with subtle grey veining running through the white base. The grey veining is the natural internal structure of the stone, formed during geological development over millions of years. It is what distinguishes genuine natural white marble from synthetic white alternatives — and it is what makes each white piece subtly different from every other. The black pieces and black board squares are carved from natural black marble — a dense stone that polishes to a deep, even surface.

Each board is hand-cut from a single solid stone slab and squared by hand. Every one of the 32 pieces is individually hand-carved to Staunton form and then hand-polished after carving. Because white marble is a natural material, the exact intensity of grey veining and the brightness of the white base will vary slightly between sets. Your set will be the same white-dominant, black-contrasted marble combination shown in the photographs — but the specific veining arrangement on your pieces will be unique to your set.

How to Care for Your White & Black Marble Chess Set

• Cleaning: Wipe board and pieces with a slightly damp soft cloth and dry immediately. White marble shows moisture staining more visibly than darker stone — dry both surfaces thoroughly after any cleaning contact.
• What to avoid: Never use acid-based cleaners — vinegar, lemon juice, bleach, and standard household sprays permanently etch polished marble surfaces. Never use abrasive cloths or scouring pads on either white or black marble.
• White marble surface care: Handle white pieces with clean, dry hands — skin oils can transfer to light-colored stone over time. Keep the white board surface away from colored liquids, food, and abrasive objects to maintain the clean white appearance long-term.
• Storage between uses: Store pieces separated in soft cloth bags to prevent contact scratching. The individual felt bottoms included reduce scratching during play — separate the pieces for storage.
• Handling: Natural marble chips if dropped on a hard floor from height. Contact us if a piece is damaged — our piece replacement service will source a matching replacement from the same white or black marble variety.
