Inspired by the Romantic Era

This set faithfully reflects the original 1849 Cooke pattern from London, capturing the proportions and style associated with early Staunton chess design. The claret-stained boxwood pieces are finished with a gently distressed surface, creating a subtle antiqued appearance that adds character and visual depth.

Fully weighted and fitted with felted bases, the pieces provide a stable and controlled feel during play. The 52 cm (20.5 inch) anegre chessboard offers a generous playing surface with warm, understated tones that complement the pieces.

Supplied with a cushioned vinyl storage box, this set is suited to both everyday use and display, offering a practical and visually balanced option for players seeking traditional styling at an accessible level.
