Description of American Staunton Wood Chess Pieces 3 3/4" King - Sheesham
Another set new to our collection of wood chess pieces is the American Staunton wood chess set. It is not only a striking set, but is a bargain for the price.
The king stands 3 3/4 inches tall with a 1 5/8 inch base. The knight has the traditional raised head with ears laid back, teeth bared and flared nostrils--ready to do battle!
This set is made from Sheesham and Boxwood and has felt bottoms. Typical to fine wood, the grain and color may vary slightly from piece to piece. Treat them as you would fine furniture. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight and store them in a humidity stable area.
We suggest using a board with squares from to 2" to 2.25". Complete set of 32 pieces - extra queens not available for this set.

Jack from DeLand American Staunton Wood Chess Pieces 3 3/4" King - Sheesham ReviewThis is a very good vallue. For a relatively inexpensive wood chess pieces, they are beautiful. The club loves them! The only negative is the absence of extra queens. Otherwise, a wonderful addition to any chess collection.
Franco from El Paso, TX American Staunton Wood Chess Pieces 3 3/4" King - Sheesham ReviewMade in India, each piece individually wrapped with great care. My first impression when looking at the pieces and feel the weight of a pawn and a tower was WOW! The brown color reveals the grain of the wood, unlike the black ebonized. The elongated head bishop is preferable to a spherical head, avoiding a phallic image. The horse because his face is not so realistic reminds me of abstract art. The queen, her crown nothing pointy, perfect for that reason, thus avoiding possible injury. The set offers great stability. The weight is ideal, neither too high nor too low, in my opinion. It is truly a masterpiece that, like the stars, shines for all its features.
