About this product

THE FINEST STAUNTON PATTERN CHESS SET EVER PRODUCED!

For the discerning Chess player, one that demands the highest quality and as close to perfection as can be achieved by human hands, we recommend the Golden Collector Series Luxury Chess set. This club-sized Chess set features a 4.4" King with a 2.0"diameter base and is crafted out of the highest grade Boxwood and Genuine Ebony. The Chess pieces are hand carved and hand turned by master artisans to the highest quality standards ever seen in a Chess set.

The Chess pieces are heavily weighted with gold embossed English Leather base pads under all 34 pieces. The Golden Collector Series Luxury Chess set has been crafted to replicate the design and proportions of the original Staunton pattern Chessmen, registered by Nathaniel Cook in March of 1849 and first manufactured by Jaques of London in September 1849. The distinctive feature of this set is the the open-mitered Bishop and Knight design, which is modeled after the noble steeds from the Greek Parthenon (Elgin Marbles.)

The Golden Collector Series Luxury Chess set exemplifies a perfect combination of distinct beauty and functionality. It has been designed to withstand the rigors of practical play while maintaining an elegance which has become the hallmark of a House of Staunton chess set.

The Chess Set comes with a personalized Certificate of Authenticity and an original manufacturer's plaque indicating the production number, with an adhesive backing that would allow it to be affixed to the underside of a Chess box.

The Antiqued Boxwood & Genuine Ebony. Crafted to replicate the design and proportions of the original Staunton pattern Chessmen, registered by Nathaniel Cook in March of 1849 and first manufactured by Jaques of London in September 1849.

THE CHESSBOARD

Red Amboyna Signature Contemporary Chessboard
Square size: 2.5"
Handcrafted in the United States by master craftsmen, the Red Amboyna Signature Contemporary Chessboard is without a doubt the finest Chessboard ever product. It features Red Amboyna Burl (dark) and Bird's Eye Maple (light) raised squares with an Genuine Ebony frame and Spalted Maple inlay and corner treatment. It takes approximately 4 months to produce each of these Chessboards, as even the most minute aspects of manufacturing are handled with a meticulous attention to detail. For example, each of these Chessboards undergoes an exhaustive finishing process, where the entire Chessboard is repeatedly rubbed by hand using quadruple ought steel wool and paste wax, resulting in its rich furniture-grade finish. From start to finish, each of these Chessboards requires over 100 hours of labor from master craftsman. Has felt pads at each corner to slightly elevate board from surface and protect from scratches.

THE CHESSBOX

Handcrafted in the United States, the House of Staunton Leather Fitted Casket provides the ultimate level of both protection and beauty to our Golden Collector Chess Set & Board Combination. The Fitted Casket provides of the Chessmen their own individual compartments, allowing them to be safely stored or transported without worry about the pieces being damaged. Once the Chessmen are placed inside the Fitted Casket and the lid securely closed, the pieces will literally be "entombed" inside this well padded Chess box. It is as beautiful as it is functional.
It is crafted from the finest English leather and is an accurate reproduction of the Jaques of London Leather Caskets (circa 1850), the rarest and most desirable Chess boxes ever produced. The Fitted Casket features "The Staunton Chessmen" in gilt on the lid, "The House of Staunton" in gilt on the front, and 2 simulated Gothic handles in gilt of each of the sides.
