Imperfect Chess Sets may have slight repairs carried out in the pieces and minute color mismatch may be observed.
Otherwise, they are of high quality like any of our typical chess sets of the same range and are in proper playable/ usable condition.
John Calvert was of the most prominent chess carvers in England in the Pre-Staunton Era. (Circa 18th century)
Our Calvert Chess Pieces are a precise reproduction of one of the iconic designs from John Calvert.
The quality of craftsmanship on these chessmen is quite extraordinary, something which only an expert carver with years of experience can achieve.
Each piece is lovingly hand-carved and hand-turned by experienced master artisans with years of experience crafting luxury chess pieces.
They have then been artificially aged to give effect of vintage patina on the chessmen. Double Weighted with Lead studs, these chessmen have substantial ballast to them to ensure great stability on the chessboard.
They are heirloom quality chessmen which will last for many decades to come.
