Ushering in a new era in Staunton chessmen, The House of Staunton introduces its latest creation, the exquisite Empire Red Sandalwood Series (4.4" King) Chessmen. With a strong hint of the Art Deco look that is reminiscent of the 1920s, the design of these Chessmen is fresh and their tactile feel is pleasant. No Chessmen before have been able to so completely capture the essence of a serious set of chessmen while at the same time maintaining a look of such elegance, simplicity, durability and clarity. The pieces seem to “melt” and conform to your hand. They just feel right.
While the design of the Chessmen is elegant, don't let that fool you - This set is fully functional and ideal for all types of Chess play and comes with a Red Burlwood Chess Box. The chessmen are designed to take abuse while retaining an elegance and aesthetic beauty that has not previously been seen in a playing chess set at any price. There are no fragile details subject to breakage, such as collars, ball finials and Queen’s crenellations normally found in conventional Staunton chessmen. These Chessmen look great and play even better!
This set comes with extra rooks that are sculpted differently. You can choose which rook type you would like to play with! Not all of the rooks will fit into the Burlwood Chess Box. |
