XX2001 Reproduction Antique Triple Weighted Chess Set - Bud Rosewood King Height 4.25 inch. Base Diameter 1.6 inch. Triple Weighted 95g. Balance 24% Certificate of Authenticity included. Beautiful pre-staunton antique reproduction. The design of chess pieces following the Staunton style was from 1850 onwards. The staunton design was taken from earlier influences - this reproduction chess set is a particularly popular design of the early 19th Century and one of the major influencers of Nathaniel Cook's design with the approval of the prevailing world champion - Howard Staunton. The set is weighted, felted and has generous dimensions according to the early design and the manufacturer has taken pains to research the design so as to adhere to the original. Although early Staunton designs had no weight and no felt, Cook along with his manufacturer Jaques, saw the value of weighted sets and felted bottoms and added these enhancements quickly. This set has the improved triple weight and felt included. The Bishop design in this set was a common design of the time, later Staunton's changed to the reduced opening of the piece we generally know today. The board square size should be with 1.75 inch squares. READ MORE...

The lean design lines of this design is the outstanding feature Henry Moore would have been proud of. Chess sets such as this are works of art and will appreciate over time. The King is well sized at over 4 inches. The Queen has a sister for when your pawn gets promoted (your opponent won't need one of course, but there's one there anyway), but the deadlier of the species also has a secret weapon - the sharp spikes of the coronet. Ouch! Don't mess with her, those spikes are deadly and feel like they have a poison payload along with it. If you like contemporary chess designs, you'll not find a better design anywhere.

X2012 Chamfered Triple Weight Staunton Chess Set in Bud Rosewood King Height 4 inch, Base Diameter 1.75 inch, Triple Weighted at 100g Certificate of Authenticity included. This chamfered base triple weighted luxury chess set is a beautifully carved traditional staunton flagship. The detail, weighting and balance of this luxury chess set is nothing short of remarkable. The knight has that trademark of excellence - gaps between the teeth betraying the excruciating exacting work in carving this piece. A single chess knight for this luxury chess set takes two days for one craftsman to produce from start to finish. The carvers of Amritsar in India are sought after for their skill, and here is the reason. The knight is finely carved with consistent detail and has a perfect weighting such that the feel of the piece in the hand is satisfying and feels sure and balanced as it moves (or more like - glides) from one square to another. The rook also has a beautiful feel due to it's full mid-section and weighting contributing more than it should towards the beauty and nature of this luxury chess set. The king stand 4 inches high.

The knights have a solid staunton look but with accentuated muscles and a innovative neck. The museum 'bust style' of the back of the necks base is the design style which we believe to be quite outstanding and formed the basis of this design commission. This set belongs in the Tate - not in your home.

It's a leading example in luxury chess sets, the King is 4 inch in height and is magnificent in detail and carving. Note the detail of the knight. One excellent feature of good luxury chess sets is the detail in the teeth of the knight. But looking at the knight overall, notice the slight rustic nature of the set. The nostrils are carved individually - each piece in the luxury chess set is unique, but the staunton style is adhered to - it's a skillful tweak of innovation. The ruddy colour of the set gives the look of an expensive chess set, but the rustic tweak gives the set a leading edge that cannot be matched in the UK market. The board for this luxury chess set should have 2 inch squares, and would benefit from a hint of blackness to highlight the set's colouring. READ MORE...

This is the Bud Rosewood version of the Bronte commissioned design shown. It is a luxury chess set - but we can't decide which we prefer - the bud rosewood or the ebony version. The Ebony is a slightly more expensive wood, but the Rosewood highlights the curves better with it's golden colour. It's available in both (see above for Ebony). The style is Traditional Staunton. The 'bust style' of the back of the necks base is the design style which we believe to be quite outstanding and formed the basis of the design commission. We think the set belongs in a museum.

As with it's neighbour, the Earl Anthony, we are simply amazed at the detail of the pieces and cannot find adequate words to describe the beauty of the Zephaniah. We recommend a board with 2 inch squares. READ MORE...
X2028 The Earl Anthony Bud Rosewood Staunton Chess Set King Height 4.4 inch. Base Diameter 1.85 inch. Triple Weighted 125g. Certificate of Authenticity included. Words fail us. But we'll try. The detail on the knight is so beautiful that it almost looks like it could breathe. The head is set slightly downwards in an unusual thought provoking pose as if considering the next best strategy. The lower lip of the knight is precise and clean. The mane style has a flourish. The muscles of the knight are defined such that the light catches different parts of the face and neck with different angles. The other pieces? Sleek, well defined. The rook has a generous torso and is well balanced. Nothing matches the excelling detail of this magnificent set. The photography is good but it's too difficult to catch the real beauty of the set with a two dimensional photo, or indeed, with these inadequate words. A set to pass on to the next generation. We recommend a board with 2 inch squares. READ MORE...
X2032 Michelangelo Bud Rosewood 6 inch King Staunton Chess Set King Height 6 inch. Base Diameter 1.92 inch. Heavily Weighted at 161g! Balance 18% Certificate of Authenticity included. Large staunton based triple weighted, felted, double queen'ed chess set that has the stamp of distinction, the authenticity of royalty and the design of Michelangelo. Not actually Michelangelo, but as close as can be in this day and age. Hmmm, I wonder what he would have designed - today we'll have to suffice with David Hockney or Tracy Emmin - watch this space. Look at the beauty of this wonderful example of the finest in chess sets, the mane design, the slender rings around the torso of each piece. The chess pieces are a delight to hold in the hand, and to put down only with the accompanying exclamation - 'Checkmate'. Fairly large - you'll need a board with 2 inch squares. READ MORE...

X3028 The Earl Anthony Staunton Chess Set Triple Weight in Ebony King Height 4.4 inch. Base Diameter 1.85 inch. Triple Weighted Certificate of Authenticity included. The Ebony version of the Earl Anthony. Beauty. Not just pretty, not just hot, but beautiful. The pictures cannot capture the spirit of this luxury set - all pieces are perfect in style, weighting and beauty. The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they are felt with the heart. This phrase is not misplaced or overworked with the Earl Anthony, its a luxury chess set without equal, without adequate descriptive words - and like a fine wine, best 'experienced', in this case by holding it, looking in it's eyes and finding it difficult to put it down. The board should have 2" squares. READ MORE...

The design humbles us - the Ultimate is beautiful, majestic and gives perspective. The architectural craftsman that thought through this chess design with the sizing of the pieces and the Bud Rosewood material deserves honour indeed. It's not just a chess set, it's a historical work of art that will, like a Henry Moore sculpture or a Michaelangelo painting, appreciate over time and be valued by successive generations. The golden hues of the wood colouring are exquisite. The Bud Rosewood material (from the root of the Rosewod tree) is highly polished to lift the depth of colour that makes this wood the sought after material it is.

X2054 Alexander the Great Chess Set in Ebony King Height 4.25 inch. Base Diameter 1.7 inch. Triple Weighted at 80g. Balance 18%. Case Included Certificate of Authenticity included. NEW!

Comes in a specially made luxury leather case included in the price with each piece having it's own home within. (The knight doesn't have a home, it has a stable.) But take care with your moves - the horse can get a little feisty if you compromise the position.

The set had us looking, admiring so much that we just couldn't display it any longer - needed to get some work done. The set is pure artwork in pure ebony.
