XX2005 - Reproduction Antique - John Calvert Chess Set
XX2005 Reproduction Antique - John Calvert Chess Set King Height 4.5 inch. Base Diameter 1.6 inch. Double Weighted at 55g Balance 28% Certificate of Authenticity included. This product from Chess Baron: Crafted in the finest rosewood. One of the recognised designs of chess sets by John Calvert - however note the difference with all other sets for this design - these chess pieces are weighted! The genre was always a beautiful design but had the problem of being easily tipped over and feeling inadequate due to weightlessness. It's rare to find chess sets of this time period that are weighted and felted like this - a beautiful design and wonderful example of 'period' chess sets. This is a reproduction, and comes with the love and care of modern day artisans. The chess set is exactly the recognised Calvert design. If you need a board, try the B2012 with 1.75 inch squares.

ChessBaron Chess Set and Chess Computer Guiding Principles ChessBaron is genuinely committed to high quality hand carved chess sets and computer chess. Chess products like this, of this level of quality are becoming rarer and rarer in this commoditised world. It's just too tempting to give in to the short term desire for profit and so to skimp on materials to make the item less expensive, cutting this corner and shaving that edge. When our items are shown in future runs of antique roadshow, we intend to be still here, still around for your children and your grandchildren, serving them as we wish to serve you, with integrity, honesty and pride. Not just as buzzwords, but as the guiding principles of our name. We have our grandchildren to think of too.
