The Cooke 3.5" Claret Boxwood Reproduction Chess Set offers a refined introduction to classic Staunton design, paired with a beautifully proportioned mahogany and maple deluxe chessboard for a balanced and elegant playing experience.

Faithfully inspired by the original 1849 Cooke pattern from London, this set reflects the design endorsed by Howard Staunton and admired throughout the Romantic era of chess. Each piece is crafted from quality boxwood and finished in a rich claret tone, following traditional proportions that remain both practical and visually appealing.

The chessmen are fully weighted for stability and felted on the base to ensure smooth, controlled movement while protecting the playing surface. The set includes a full complement of 34 pieces, with additional queens provided for pawn promotion.

The pieces are paired with a deluxe mahogany and maple chessboard, whose classic contrast and generous playing area perfectly suit the 3.5-inch king. Completing the set is a felt-lined, hinged vinyl storage box, offering practical protection and convenient storage when the set is not in use.

An excellent choice for beginners and casual players seeking authentic Staunton styling, dependable playability, and a complete, ready-to-use chess set at an accessible price point.
