Exquisite in craftsmanship, this set combines finely detailed Leuchars Cooke chessmen with a luxurious anegre burl board. Complete with a vinyl box, it embodies classic refinement.
The Leuchars Cooke Chess Set is a rare and beautifully crafted reproduction named in tribute to William Leuchars, the distinguished retailer who first introduced sets in 1849 from his upscale Piccadilly shop. Each piece is made from high-quality boxwood and ebonised wood, featuring the distinctive Leuchars Knight—a unique, plain rendition of the iconic Cooke Knight—capturing the understated elegance of the original design.
Originally produced in limited quantities by Leuchars, this collectable set combines historical authenticity. Each set includes 34 chess pieces, all carefully housed in a durable vinyl chess piece box, perfect for secure storage and protection.
