Chess Sets - Premium and Antique Chess Sets from The House of Staunton
Description
Nothing can heighten your chess-playing experience more than the feel and weight of a finely crafted Staunton chess set. To pamper you, The House of Staunton offers our heirloom quality Collector Series boxwood and ebony (and now 20,000 year-old Mammoth ivory!) Staunton pattern chess sets, heavily weighted and felted, crafted to replicate the exquisite design and proportions of the original Staunton pattern chess set, first made by John Jaques and Son of London in 1849. The white King bears a gold embossed leather base. The King side Rook and Knight are marked with a small crown on their summits. The Knights, which are modeled after the noble steeds from the Greek Parthenon (Elgin Marbles) are unsurpassed in beauty and craftsmanship. We also offer the Marshall Series Chessmen which is a modification of a turn-of-the-century (1900) design. These exquisite, robust chessmen are designed to withstand the rigors of serious tournament play. Each set is delivered with its original manufacturer's label and individual production number. These are far superior to any production Staunton pattern chessmen available today. Indulge yourself - own a legend!
The Library version of The House of Staunton set has a 3.0" King with a 1.5" diameter base, is heavily weighted, and is housed in a fine hinged Red Burl box, lined in billiard cloth. The set is available in Boxwood and Ebony or Rosewood.
Our Tournament Size Chessmen have a 4.0" King with a base diameter of 1.875". The standard configuration includes a fine, lockable Red Burl box, with a quadrant hinge, manufactured by a southern California humidor maker. The box is designed to seal and retain humidification should the local clime so require. The set can be purchased with an optional fitted Red Burl briefcase, if so desired.
