These chess pieces are an accurate reproduction of the iconic design of 1849 series Original Staunton Chess Pieces. This design is considered as the Gold Standard for collectors and chess players worldwide. No collection can be considered complete without a set of this design.
The pieces have been crafted using High Grade Boxwood and Exotic Bud Rosewood (genus African Padauk).
Each Piece of this design follows a defined grammar. The sturdy rooks are designed to look like solid castles with impregnable walls, pawns are made to look minimalist with slim collars, bishops with simple mitres, the tall elegant king readily distinguished by its cross and the queen has a distinctive coronet.
Showstoppers of the set, Knight are inspired by the horses in the Elgin Marbles from the Athenian Parthenon.
