Marble Chess Set 15 Inch — Travertine & Oceanic Marble Stone Chess Set with Storage Box & 2 Extra Queens

A 15-inch hand-carved natural stone marble chess set — warm matte travertine border and light squares against polished oceanic marble dark squares with fossil inclusions, 32 tournament-size Staunton pieces, 2 extra queens, and a storage box — weighing 10.5 pounds total with 2 verified reviews and free US shipping. This is the travertine-led version of the warm organic Travertine+Oceanic combination at tournament scale — a cool chess set where the wide warm travertine border creates a substantial natural stone board presence at room level while polished oceanic fossil marble delivers warm grey-brown organic contrast at playing height.

What This Travertine and Oceanic Marble Chess Set Includes

• 15-inch travertine-bordered board with polished oceanic marble dark squares — 14.96" × 14.96" × 0.04" exact, 10.5 lbs total: The board is a solid stone slab with a warm beige-cream travertine border surround and alternating travertine and oceanic marble inlaid squares across the full 15-inch playing surface. The travertine border on this board is notably wide — confirmed from the product image where the thick travertine surround creates a substantial warm stone frame around the playing surface. The travertine border and light squares have the characteristic heavy natural pitting of genuine sedimentary travertine — warm beige-cream matte surface with pronounced natural voids visible across the full border and all light squares. The oceanic marble dark squares are polished — warm grey-brown with fossil inclusions and organic patterns that differ from square to square across the board. The board reads as a warm natural stone object from across a room — the wide travertine border dominates the board silhouette — while delivering the warm organic contrast between matte travertine and polished fossil oceanic marble at playing height. The board base has an attached felt pad protecting any table surface. At 10.5 pounds this is the full tournament-size format with genuine stone weight throughout
• 32 hand-carved tournament-size Staunton pieces — King at 3.5 inches, confirmed individual weights: Every piece is individually hand-carved from genuine natural stone in classic Staunton form. The dark side is polished oceanic marble — warm grey-brown with fossil inclusions and organic patterns visible across every carved piece surface, confirmed from the piece closeup in the product image where the King, Rook, and Knight all show distinct fossil inclusion patterns. The light side is natural travertine — warm beige-cream with heavy pronounced surface pitting visible across every carved piece surface in the piece closeup — Rook, Pawn, and King all show pronounced deep natural pitting. Individual piece weights confirmed: King 0.21 lbs · Queen 0.19 lbs · Bishop 0.14 lbs · Knight 0.14 lbs · Rook 0.19 lbs · Pawn 0.15 lbs. Every piece has an attached felt base pad protecting the board surface during play
• 2 extra queens — 1 oceanic marble + 1 travertine, both at tournament Queen height: Both extra queens are full-size hand-carved stone pieces at the full 3-inch tournament Queen height — one polished oceanic marble queen and one matte travertine queen. Both match the playing queens exactly in height, form, and material and store with the full set in the included storage box
• Storage box — all 34 pieces protected: The complete set stores in a dedicated storage box confirmed from the product description. The box holds all 34 pieces — 32 playing pieces plus both extra queens — securely between play and display sessions, preventing piece-to-piece contact which is the primary cause of surface chipping in natural stone chess sets without dedicated protective storage
• Tournament-size format — 3.5-inch King, 10.5 pounds, 15 × 15-inch board: The King stands at 3.5 inches — within standard tournament piece proportion specifications of 3.375 to 4.5 inches — with the Queen at 3 inches, Bishop, Knight, and Rook at 2.75 inches each, and Pawns at 2.25 inches. The 15-inch board gives every square the piece clearance needed for comfortable serious match play across all game phases including complex endgame positions

How the Travertine-Bordered Board Differs From the Oceanic-Bordered Version

The Speshstones 15-inch chess catalog includes two products that share the same two stone materials — travertine and oceanic marble — at the same tournament board dimensions and price. The Oceanic+Travertine 15-inch set has an oceanic marble border — the board reads as a warm grey-brown fossil stone object at room level where the fossil-inclusion oceanic marble dominates the board silhouette. This Travertine+Oceanic 15-inch set has a travertine border — the board reads as a warm beige-cream natural stone object at room level where the matte pitted travertine dominates the board silhouette.

The wide travertine border visible in the product image creates a particularly substantial warm stone frame — more of the total board surface area is warm matte travertine on this set than on any other 15-inch chess set in the Speshstones catalog. From across a room the board presents as a warm beige-cream natural stone piece — the travertine color and texture dominate. At playing height the polished oceanic fossil marble dark squares deliver warm grey-brown organic contrast against the matte travertine light squares — the same contrast available in the Oceanic-bordered version but within a warmer, more beige-cream overall board context.

At piece level the playing experience is identical between the two products — the same 16 travertine pieces against the same 16 oceanic marble pieces in the same Staunton forms at the same tournament dimensions. The choice between the two products is an interior design decision — which room surface do you want the board to coordinate with primarily at room level, the warm beige-cream of travertine or the warm grey-brown fossil character of oceanic marble.

Materials & Craftsmanship

This handmade chess set is carved from two genuine natural warm earth-tone stones — natural travertine and oceanic marble — whose geological origins and surface characters differ significantly while both operating within the warm earth-tone palette. Natural travertine is a sedimentary limestone formed by the precipitation of calcium carbonate from natural spring water — creating the characteristic warm beige-cream color and heavy natural pitting confirmed across the board border, travertine light squares, and all 16 travertine pieces in the product image. Oceanic marble is a metamorphic limestone with characteristic warm grey-brown color and fossil inclusions — organic patterns from marine sedimentary material incorporated into the stone during geological formation — creating a polished surface with visible fossil outlines and organic warm grey-brown toning that differs from square to square and piece to piece. The board combines both stones — matte travertine border and light squares against polished oceanic marble dark squares — in a single solid inlaid stone slab with a particularly wide travertine border surround. Every piece is individually hand-carved from genuine natural stone in classic Staunton form. No paint. No dye. No coating. The warm beige-cream of the travertine pieces comes from genuine sedimentary limestone material. The warm grey-brown fossil character of the oceanic pieces comes from genuine metamorphic limestone with natural fossil inclusions. Natural variation between pieces confirms genuine stone — the pitting distribution on each travertine piece and the fossil inclusion pattern on each oceanic piece differ because each piece is carved from a separate block of natural stone.

How to Care for Your Travertine and Oceanic Marble Chess Set

This natural stone chess set requires minimal care between play and display sessions. For the board, wipe the full 15-inch playing surface including the wide travertine border with a soft damp cloth after each session to remove fingerprint oils and dust from both the matte travertine areas and the polished oceanic marble dark squares. The polished oceanic marble squares show fingerprint marks and dust against the warm grey-brown surface — a quick damp cloth wipe after each session maintains the fossil marble surface quality. The wide travertine border and light squares have heavy natural pitting that collects fine dust during display periods — use a soft brush with mild pH-neutral soap during weekly deeper cleaning to clear any debris from within the pitting on both the board travertine areas and all 16 travertine pieces. For the oceanic marble pieces, wipe each piece with a soft damp cloth — the polished surface cleans completely in one pass but the fossil inclusion areas may collect fine dust during extended display periods between games. For the travertine pieces, use a soft brush with mild pH-neutral soap to clear the pronounced natural surface pitting. Do not use vinegar, lemon juice, citrus-based sprays, or bleach on any marble or travertine surface — these permanently etch and dull both the polished oceanic marble and the matte travertine on both board and pieces. Always lift pieces during play — never slide stone pieces across the board surface. Store all 34 pieces in the included storage box between sessions. Apply a food-safe penetrating stone sealer to all surfaces once or twice a year to maintain both stone finishes long-term.
