The Vienna Coffee House antique reproduction chess set is elegant and has a unique design based on the sets produced in the early 1900's in Austria. There were many iterations of the basic design and our approach was to take the best elements from the most attractive models and create a chess set that had the best of everything. Our chess pieces are more refined and much higher quality than would have been available with the original sets. This is large set with a 4 tall king and a base diameter of 1.7. The knights are wonderfully carved with handsome features and fine detail. These pieces are made from ebonized and natural boxwood and have a high gloss lacquer finish. The pieces are nicely weighted for stability on the chess board and have thick green baize pads. The elegant pieces of the Vienna Coffee House chess set will add greater enjoyment to every game you play!
