Product Description:
Our Old English Elite Staunton chess pieces are simply one of the finest classical designs. Each piece blends in harmoniously with its counterparts.
Please note that trade in Red Sandalwood is now banned for export. This is one of the very last remaining sets of pieces available anywhere. Period.
This set of pieces would look exquisite with traditional Georgian architecture. The balance, design and uniformity of the respective pieces make the set a real conversation piece – with plenty of discussion material available from the Knights alone!
The chess pieces are carved, polished and finished in a top grade of Red Sandalwood and Boxwood with a clean fine grain. It is the hand polishing of these pieces that provides a much superior finish to that of lacquered pieces. As Red Sandalwood is now banned for export this is a set of pieces that can only become more valuable over time.
