These highly detailed and superbly finished Reproduction Staunton Ebony Chessmen 1869 Model boast an imposing 10.16 cm king including his royal finial. Supplied by the same chess workshop that produces some of the world's finest chessmen, these chessmen have been turned from solid wood then painstakingly carved with exquisite detailing.
In particular, the knights and bishops are beautifully detailed and as reproduction pieces they also bear the original marks of the kings crown on 1 black knight, 1 black rook, 1 white knight and 1 white rook. Placed on the Kings flank, this was a practical innovation to identify their position on the King's side of the board as, in descriptive chess notation, the rooks and knights were often referred to as being the ‘queens knight, or the ‘king's rook'.
We have matched these lovely chess men the stunning 60 cm walnut and maple chess board created by the world famous
Rechapados Ferrer of Spain. With the addition of a lovely handmade wooden storage box, this is a stunning combination of quality materials and expert workmanship offering amazing value for money.
