Made in USA Natural Baltic Amber Chess Board Wood Inlay KIZIMA®

This Made in USA Natural Baltic Amber Chess Board is a handcrafted playing surface where genuine Baltic amber meets solid wood. Each of the 64 squares is filled with real Baltic amber — warm honey-cream tones alternating with deep cognac and dark amber — set into a polished hardwood frame and finished to a mirror-smooth gloss.

Every board is shaped, inlaid, polished, and finished entirely by hand in our Brooklyn, New York workshop. No two boards are identical: the natural inclusions, swirls, and color depth of the amber make each square one of a kind. The result is a chess board that works equally well as a serious playing surface and as a sculptural piece of decor for a desk, library, or coffee table.

Choose from four sizes to match your space and your chess pieces — from a compact 26 cm desk board to a large 37 cm statement board.

Please note: this listing is for the chess board only. Chess pieces are sold separately.

The KIZIMA® Heritage

Baltic amber has been treasured for millennia, and Königsberg — the historic amber capital of the world — gave the craft its name. The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds a 17th-century amber chess set in its permanent collection, a reminder that amber gaming boards have long belonged among the finest decorative arts. We continue that tradition from our workshop in Brooklyn.
