Expertly carved by highly experienced and gifted craftsmen, these beautiful chess pieces are made from solid pieces of quality wood stock.

The traditional dark tones of the ebony and the sublime antiqued finish on the boxwood make for a perfect contrast on your chess board.

Created to replicate the Jaques of London Circa 1849 Leuchars Staunton pattern, these reproduction chess pieces also bear the distinguishable markings of the king's crown on one white knight, one white rook, one black knight, and one black rook. These marked chess pieces sit on the king's flank. This was a practical innovation to identify their position on the king’s side of the board. In descriptive chess notation, the rooks and knights were often referred to as the "queen's knight" or the "king's rook".

With a king's base diameter of 1.6 inches, the king and chess pieces in this set are best suited to 20.9-inch chess boards.
