ID 1280028136 British Staunton Chess Set Golden Rosewood & Boxwood Pieces - 4" King
Our British Staunton draws inspiration from a vintage design originating from the old British Chess Company in the mid-1800s. Featuring a purely traditional Staunton design, the pieces are handcrafted from golden rosewood and boxwood and lacquer polished to a lustrous finish. This is a thirty-four-piece set that includes two extra queens for pawn promotion. The king is 4"-tall with base diameter of 1.6" making it ideal for tournament games. The pieces are heavily weighted for exceptional stability and have thick green baize pads on the bottom for a soft cushion on the chess board. We include a Certificate of Manufacturer so you will always know what the pieces are, when they were made, and where they came from.Chess Set Specifications & Features: Includes 34 Pieces with 2 Extra Queens for Pawn Promotion (Does Not Include Chess Board); Wood: Golden Rosewood & Natural Boxwood; Finish: Traditional Polished Lacquer; King Height: 4"; King Base: 1.625"; King Weight:2.8 Ounces; Chess Set Weight: 52 Ounces; Green Baize Pads ; Recommended Chess Board Size: 2.125" - 2.25" Squares;
