Step into the rich history of chess with this 3.5" Circa 1856 Anderssen Drop Jaw Staunton Chess Set, a faithful reproduction of one of the most iconic designs from the mid-19th century. This set pays homage to the original crafted by Jaques of London between 1856 and 1862, named after Adolf Anderssen, the celebrated German chess master of the Romantic Era. Renowned for his brilliant attacking style, Anderssen left an indelible mark on chess history, famously playing "The Immortal Game" and "The Evergreen Game."
This set is inspired by the Staunton design standards of the 1850s and 1860s, featuring the legendary "Drop Jaw" knight with its striking open-mouthed carving.
Weighted for stability and smooth play, the set is both functional and visually striking.
The Anderssen Drop Jaw Chess Set is a timeless tribute to chess history and artistry, blending elegance with historical significance for collectors and players alike.

The 23″ bag fits the board perfectly and feels well-padded and sturdy. The zippers are smooth, the handles are strong, and it makes carrying a premium board safe and easy. Very practical for storage and transport.
Very sturdy board with a solid build and smooth finish. Feels stable during play and pairs well with heavy pieces.
The carving on the knights is impressive, and the pieces have a nice, steady weight. Everything feels solid and well-made on the board, with the knights especially standing out and feeling premium in hand.
High quality chess set. Looks great when kept outside in my balcony. The knight design is especially nice.
Using this chess set from few weeks now. Mostly evening time, sometimes at home, sometimes in nearby park with friends. Board is solid, once you keep it on bench or table, it doesn’t move much.
Pieces are nicely balanced and don’t fall easily, even when playing outside. After game, all pieces go back inside the drawers, so no tension of losing anything. I’m using it normally, not handling very carefully, still it’s in good condition. Feels like a chess set made for playing, not just for show.
