The Leuchars Antique Chess Set (3.5") is a finely crafted antique-finish reproduction, created in homage to William Leuchars, the distinguished Piccadilly retailer who first introduced Staunton chess sets to the world in 1849.
Each piece is hand-carved from premium boxwood and ebonised wood, then finished with a rich antique patina that evokes the warmth and character of the original 19th-century designs. The set features the graceful Leuchars Knight, distinguished by its classic posture and subtle detailing — a perfect embodiment of early Staunton refinement.
This collection includes 34 weighted and felted chessmen, with a king standing at 3.5 inches (89 mm). Every piece is polished by hand and elegantly presented in a luxury mahogany chess box, offering secure storage and timeless display appeal.
A distinguished addition for collectors and connoisseurs, celebrating the enduring artistry and heritage of the Staunton legacy.
