A 15-inch hand-carved natural stone marble chess set — warm matte travertine border and dark squares against clean polished white marble light squares, 32 tournament-size Staunton pieces, 2 extra queens, and a storage box — weighing 10.5 pounds total at $109.00 with free US shipping. This is the most accessible 15-inch tournament natural stone chess set in the Speshstones catalog — a tournament chess set in genuine travertine and white marble at the lowest price point in the 15-inch format, delivering the same tournament-size King at 3.5 inches and the same warm travertine and white marble material combination as the premium format at a more accessible entry point.
What This Tournament Marble Chess Set Includes
- 15-inch travertine-bordered tournament board — 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 white marble inlaid squares across the full 15-inch playing surface. The travertine border and dark squares have the characteristic heavy natural pitting of genuine sedimentary travertine — warm beige-cream matte surface with pronounced natural voids confirmed from the product lifestyle image. The white marble light squares are polished to a clean bright finish — subtle natural grey veining visible on the polished white surface. The board reads as a warm natural stone object at room level — the travertine border dominates the board silhouette — while delivering the clean white marble versus warm travertine contrast at playing height. The board base has an attached felt pad protecting any table surface. At 10.5 pounds and 15 × 15 inches this is a full tournament-size natural stone board with genuine stone weight and tournament-standard piece clearance throughout
- 32 hand-carved tournament-size Staunton stone pieces — King at 3.5 inches, all with felt base pads: Every piece is individually hand-carved from genuine natural stone in classic Staunton form. The dark side is natural travertine — warm beige-cream with heavy characteristic surface pitting visible across every carved piece surface. The light side is polished white marble — clean bright white with smooth polished surface and subtle natural grey veining at close range. 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 a separate attached felt base pad protecting the board surface during play — confirmed from the product body copy "Separate felt bottoms packet for all chess figures"
- 2 extra queens — 1 white marble + 1 travertine, both at full 3-inch tournament Queen height: Both extra queens are full-size hand-carved stone pieces at the full 3-inch tournament Queen height — one polished white marble queen and one warm 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 included free with the purchase — confirmed from the product body copy "FREE storage box." 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 at the most accessible 15-inch price point — $109.00: The King stands at 3.5 inches — within standard tournament piece proportion specifications of 3.375 to 4.5 inches — confirming this as a genuine tournament chess set at piece level. The 15-inch board gives every square the piece clearance needed for comfortable serious match play. At $109.00 this is $46.85 less than other 15-inch Travertine+White format sets in the Speshstones catalog — the most accessible entry point to a 15-inch natural stone tournament chess set from Speshstones
The Most Accessible 15-Inch Natural Stone Tournament Chess Set in the Speshstones Catalog
The Speshstones chess catalog offers the Travertine+White marble combination across multiple formats and price points. This $109.00 tournament set delivers the same travertine-bordered board aesthetic, the same tournament-size 3.5-inch King, and the same genuine natural stone material quality as the premium format — at the most accessible price in the 15-inch range.
At $109.00 this is the entry point for buyers who want:
- A genuine 15-inch tournament-size natural stone chess set — not the compact 12-inch format
- The travertine and white marble warm neutral color combination in the full tournament board size
- Tournament-standard King height (3.5 inches) and board dimensions (15 × 15 inches) confirmed
- 10.5 pounds of genuine natural stone — the same confirmed weight as all other 15-inch chess sets in the catalog
- 2 extra queens in genuine stone for pawn promotion during play
As a cool chess set at the $109 price point this delivers something the 12-inch compact sets cannot — the full tournament-size presence of a 15 × 15-inch natural stone board with 3.5-inch pieces on a dining table, home office surface, or living room coffee table. As a unique chess set the genuine travertine and white marble material combination — warm matte beige versus clean polished white — creates a two-tone natural stone board that no plastic, wood, or resin chess set replicates at any price. The warm travertine border coordinates with wood furniture, linen textiles, and organic modern interior palettes while the clean white marble light squares and pieces provide bright, visually clear contrast at playing height.
Materials & Craftsmanship
This handmade chess set is carved from two genuine natural stones — natural travertine and white marble — that together create the two-tone board surface and two opposing piece sets. 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 from the body copy as "carved from solid travertine stone with irregular holes · matte polished." The irregular holes referenced are the characteristic natural pitting of genuine sedimentary travertine — not surface defects but the defining geological formation mark of authentic travertine stone. White marble is a metamorphic rock formed when limestone is subjected to extreme geological heat and pressure — recrystallizing calcium carbonate into the dense interlocking crystal structure that gives marble its characteristic weight, smooth polished surface, and calcite veining. The board combines both stones — matte travertine border and dark squares against polished white marble light squares — in a single solid inlaid stone slab. Every piece is individually hand-carved from genuine natural stone in classic Staunton form. No paint. No dye. No coating. The warm beige of the travertine pieces comes from genuine sedimentary limestone material. The clean white of the marble pieces comes from genuine metamorphic rock. Natural variation between pieces confirms genuine stone — the pitting on each travertine piece and the subtle veining on each white marble piece differ because each piece is carved from a separate block of natural stone.

How to Care for Your Travertine and White 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 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 white marble light squares. The polished white marble light squares show fingerprint marks and dust more readily against the bright white surface — a quick damp cloth wipe after each session maintains the clean white marble finish. The travertine border and dark 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 white marble pieces, wipe each piece with a soft damp microfibre cloth — the smooth polished surface cleans completely in one pass. Do not use vinegar, lemon juice, citrus-based sprays, or bleach on any marble or travertine surface — these permanently etch the polished white marble and dull the matte travertine. 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.
