Description

Crafted from high-quality ebony and boxwood, these 1849 Reproduction Staunton Chessmen are a sight to behold. The pieces are exquisitely detailed and finished, with broad 1.97-inch (5 cm) bases and a stately 4.4 inches (11 cm) king that is perfectly weighted and felted for balance. The beautiful 21-inch board features 2.25-inch playing squares.

Handcrafted by a renowned chess workshop, these reproduction pieces are faithful to the classic Staunton design and turned from solid wood. The intricate detailing on the 4.4-inch king is particularly impressive, with an intricate finial and double banding on his collar. To protect your board, all the pieces are covered with a billiard cloth on their bases.

One notable feature of these chessmen is that the kings are branded at the base with the words “Staunton 1849”. The set also includes original markings of the king's crown on 1 black knight, 1 black rook, 1 white knight, and 1 white rook, which will sit on the King's flank to identify their position on the board. This practical innovation was introduced in descriptive chess notation, where the rooks and knights were often referred to as being the ‘queens knight, or the ‘king’s rook’.

Not only are these chessmen a desirable acquisition, but they are also a fantastic investment and an exciting heirloom for future generations, thanks to the high-quality grade of ebony and boxwood used to create them. Overall, these superbly finished and detailed chessmen are sure to impress even the most discerning chess enthusiast.

Wood Variation Disclaimer

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.
