We are thrilled to present a unique offering: the Early Anderssen Drop Jaw Chessmen, Tournament Size, circa 1858. Crafted from boxwood and ebony, these exquisite chess pieces will transport you back in time.

Each piece is weighted and thoughtfully felted for a premium feel. The King proudly bears the "1858 Staunton" inscription on its rim, a mark of authenticity and quality. As you handle these chessmen, you'll notice the King side Rooks and Knights adorned with the regal King's crown mark atop their summits.

According to the renowned Camaratta Codex, these chessmen are in the style of the legendary Anderssen and were originally crafted around 1858. Notably, the Knights feature the distinctive Anderssen drop-jaw design, adding a touch of historical elegance to your gameplay. The Bishops are equally captivating with their wide vertical mitres.
