Heritage and Presentation
This set honours the original design language that established the Staunton standard in 1849. The proportions, traditional markings, and antique finish give it the character of an early London set while maintaining the practicality expected of a well-made modern reproduction.
The 3.5-inch king offers a balanced and commanding presence, while the contrast of ebony and antiqued boxwood delivers a classic Victorian appearance. The green felt bases and traditional green lozenges complete the period look.
The 21-inch board features a rosewood stained perimeter with ebony and maple squares, creating a handsome setting for both play and display. Presented in a mahogany wooden box, this is a refined set for collectors, enthusiasts, and serious players.
