Key Features
A Grand Reproduction of a Classic Pattern
This 1850 Antique Ebony Chess Set captures the grace, authority, and visual refinement of the Staunton era that shaped modern chess. Each piece reflects the proportions and detailing associated with the original mid-19th-century Jaques design, giving the set strong historical character and collector appeal.
The 4.4-inch king has an impressive presence on the board, while the knights stand out for their finely sculpted manes and alert expression. Genuine ebony provides deep contrast against the antiqued boxwood, and the soft antique patina adds warmth and authenticity to the overall presentation.
Fully weighted and finished with green baize felt, the pieces move smoothly and feel substantial in play. Housed in a deluxe mahogany box and paired with a 21-inch luxury ebony, rosewood and maple chessboard, this is a distinguished set suited to both display and serious use.
