A timeless collector's set that celebrates the legacy and enduring elegance of the first Staunton chessmen.
Each piece is meticulously crafted to honour the original design specifications that established the Staunton standard in 1849.

Presented in a solid mahogany wooden storage box, this collection piece serves equally well as a functional set for serious players or a distinguished display for chess enthusiasts and historians.
