Collector Series
Red Lacquer Chess Pieces

Nothing can heighten your chess playing experience more than the feel and weight of a finely crafted Staunton chess set. To pamper you, ChessCentral now offers the heirloom quality Collector Series Staunton pattern chess sets with your choice of dark pieces in rosewood or ebony. The Collector Series chess pieces are heavily weighted and felted, crafted to replicate the exquisite design and proportions of the original Staunton pattern chess set, first made by John Jaques and Son of London in 1849.

The White King bears a gold embossed leather base. The Kingside Rook and Knight are elegantly marked with a small crown on their summits. The Knights, which are modeled after the noble steeds from the Greek Parthenon (Elgin Marbles) are unsurpassed in beauty and craftsmanship.

Each set is delivered with its original manufacturer's label and individual production number. These are far superior to any production Staunton pattern chess set available today. The Collector Series comes housed in a finely crafted Mahogany chess piece box. Truly, a set to be passed down for many generations.
