The Cooke Boxwood and Ebonised Chess Set is a stunning reproduction of the iconic 1849 Cooke design by John Jaques of London, crafted by the highly esteemed KS Arts workshop. This set faithfully captures the elegance and precision of the original Staunton style, attributed to and endorsed by the celebrated British chess master, Mr. Howard Staunton. Each piece embodies the traditional specifications of the romantic chess era, crafted from high-quality boxwood and ebonised wood.

This bundle includes the beautifully detailed pieces alongside a 20-inch Anegre burl chessboard, providing a luxurious playing surface that enhances the set’s classic aesthetic. Designed for both study and club play, each piece is core-weighted for balance and felted on the base to ensure smooth, stable movement. A durable rexine box is also included for secure storage and transport.

Key Features:

  • King Height: 3.5 inches
  • 34 Chessmen: with additional queens included
  • Three-Year Warranty for assured quality
  • 20-Inch Anegre Burl Chessboard: finely crafted for a seamless and elegant playing experience
  • Rexine Chess Piece Box: for safe storage and ease of transport

This KS Arts reproduction of the 1849 Cooke John Jaques London set brings a piece of chess history to life, combining heritage craftsmanship with superior materials, making it a treasured choice for collectors and players alike.

Attention overseas customers: Please note that your order may be subject to customs taxes, which must be paid directly to your governing tax office.

In the realm of hand-carved products, it's essential to acknowledge that the artistry involved in crafting chess pieces and related items by hand can lead to unique variations. The use of wood, being a natural material, inherently results in differences in color, shade, and tone.

Furthermore, please keep in mind that the hand-carving process may introduce subtle differences between individual pieces within a set, adding to their individual character.

Additionally, for transparency, we want to clarify that the use of veneer is exclusive to our chess boards and boxes. All other items, including chess pieces and related accessories, are crafted from solid wood unless explicitly stated otherwise in our listings. This distinction is made to ensure compliance with CITES regulations governing lumber species while maintaining the exceptional quality and craftsmanship of our hand-carved products.

Hand-Carved Products Disclaimer:

  • Variations in Wood: Due to the natural and inconsistent nature of wood, expect variations in color, wood tones, shade, and tone.
  • Artistic Hand-Carving: Hand-carved products may exhibit subtle differences between individual pieces, enhancing their unique character and wood variance.
  • Approximate Weights and Sizes: Provided weights and sizes are approximate guides, considering the handmade nature of our products.
  • Chess Boards and Boxes: Unless explicitly labeled as "solid wood," chess boards and boxes are made with veneer to comply with CITES regulations. Other items are crafted from solid wood for quality and compliance.
