The Northern Upright
The Northern Upright

The Northern Upright (or Edinburgh) chess set was a popular precursor of the Staunton pattern and is thought to have partly inspired the first Staunton design. Our Northern Upright set is an accurate reproduction of this early 19th century pattern. The highly skilled artisans at Chopra Chess have painstakingly researched this set to be faithful to the original designs of that period. The result is a strikingly handsome chess set with authentic historical interest. These chessmen are impressive as well for their generous dimensions. The King is 4 1/4" high with a base diameter of 1 3/4". The chessmen are generously weighted, with good balance, and come with leather slides. For this set we recommend a board with square size of 2 1/8" to 2 1/4".

Here's a picture of the boxwood pieces:

The white pieces are made of boxwood. The opposing pieces are now available in budrosewood or pure ebony.

I received my Northern Upright/Edinburgh pieces about a week ago now, and continue to be impressed with such high quality of rosewood/boxwood and their carvings. These are VERY imposing pieces (King stands 4 1/2", with many other pieces nearly 4"... even the pawns must be 3 3/4" tall)! Perhaps the most enjoyable aspect is the historical- almost museum caliber- aspect of their display. I like the design being Staunton-esque, but NOT actually Staunton, if you see my point? Almost feel I have to go out and refinish my chess table to bring it 'up to snuff' with this excellent set.
