A Tribute to the Romantic Era
Step back into the golden age of chess with this detailed reproduction of the 1850 Jaques pattern. Designed to reflect the proportions and visual character of the original Staunton sets, each piece captures the authority and elegance that defined mid-19th-century chess craftsmanship.
The 4.4-inch (11.2 cm) king features a broad, stable base and traditional kingside embossing, while each chessman carries the distinctive green lozenge — a historic hallmark associated with early Jaques production. The knights are particularly striking, with finely sculpted features and expressive profiles that highlight the artistry of the set.
Crafted from deep ebony and antiqued boxwood, and finished with a rich polish, the pieces offer strong contrast and authentic period character. Paired with a 21-inch (53.3 cm) inlaid chessboard and presented in a deluxe mahogany box with brass plaque, this is a refined collector’s set suited to both display and serious play.
