This chess set package includes our British Staunton Chess Set with rosewood and boxwood pieces matched with our mahogany chess box. Our British Staunton is based on an old British Chess Company chess set from many years ago. It's purely traditional with all the features a player and collector looks for in a high quality Staunton chess set.

The pieces are individually hand polished and lacquered to a beautiful luster. The king is 4 tall and has a base diameter of 1.625. The pieces have thick green baize pads so they slide smoothly across the chess board and are heavily weighted for stability.
