Description
Traditional Staunton design. Superb quality and great value for money. Expertly turned from boxwood. Weighted and felted chessmen. 3-inch (76 mm) king. Solid wood chess piece case. Beautifully crafted chessboard from Spain. Exceptional quality. 17.75-inch board. 1.75-inch playing squares. A contemporary Staunton chess set featuring weighted Competition chessmen with a dedicated sheesham case, paired with a high-gloss black anegre and maple board from Spain. Each chess piece is perfectly weighted for perfect balance, with every base covered with billiard cloth. What makes this set of pieces extra special is that it is just one of four sets of chessmen in The Regency Chess range that has its own dedicated chess piece case. Skilfully and beautifully crafted from sheesham, lovingly lined with luxury green flocking, this work of art will not only be practical in storing your chessmen, but looks beautiful whilst doing so. Please note that due to supply chain issues, the box will be supplied with either a brass clasp or a hidden magnetic closing mechanism. We have matched the Competition chessmen with a contemporary-looking chessboard crafted by the world-famous Rechapados Ferrer based in Spain. At almost 18 inches, this high-gloss lacquered board is constructed using high-quality veneers of black anegre and maple. It is a deeply contrasting board reflecting all the chess pieces beautifully, and combining these two components makes for a very elegant and contemporary looking chess set.
