Antique Style Chess Pieces with Teak Storage Box

Before the Staunton chessmen were introduced in the mid-1800's, chess sets were varied in style and wood - many hand crafted to the specifications of their proud owners. These sets were not used only for chess play (in the evening before a fireplace!), but also displayed like works of art in many fine drawing rooms. ChessCentral is pleased to offer a recreation of one of the most popular styles of chess pieces ever designed.

These Antique style chess pieces are unique in quality and design. The King height is 4 inches with a base of 1.75 inches. The chess pieces are crafted in boxwood for the light pieces and Rosewood for the dark pieces. Finely balanced and nicely weighted, this Antique style chess set will offer a rich game experience for any chess player.
