Step back into the romantic era of chess with this magnificent reproduction of the 1850 Jaques-style chessmen, crafted with precision and reverence for the golden age of Staunton design.

Each piece is hand-carved and perfectly weighted, delivering the ideal balance and feel that discerning players expect from a premium tournament-sized set. The king stands at an impressive 4.4 inches, featuring a broad, stable base and the iconic kingside embossing that distinguished Jaques originals of the mid-19th century.

Every chessman bears a green lozenge on its felted base, a hallmark of authenticity reminiscent of the pieces produced during the celebrated Romantic era of English craftsmanship. The knights are masterfully sculpted with expressive features and arched necks, embodying the artistry and elegance that made the Jaques legacy world-famous.

Beautifully proportioned, richly polished, and historically faithful, this collection captures the timeless grandeur of the early Staunton sets — a true homage to the 1850 originals and a centrepiece worthy of any collector or serious chess enthusiast.
