DESCRIPTION
Throughout Chess history, nothing has made such an impact on the design of chessmen as the introduction of the English Staunton Chess pieces. The Staunton Pattern chessmen were first offered to the public for sale by Jaques of London in the Fall of 1849 and quickly became the standard for serious tournament competition. The original Staunton design was registered to Nathaniel Cook in the Spring of 1849. The design bears the name of the self-proclaimed world champion and English Shakespearean scholar Howard Staunton, who approved the new design and promoted it in his London Illustrated News chess column.

We are pleased to offer the 4.0" Hastings 1895 Limited Edition Staunton Chessmen. These Chessmen were created to commemorate the famous 1895 Hastings Tournament, won by American sensation Harry Nelson Pillsbury. This period is widely regarded by many collectors as the time when the finest Staunton chessmen were produced. The form, broad bases, board presence and exquisite craftsmanship of these magnificent chessmen have been recaptured and are offered to you on a very limited basis. Unique to these exquisite chessmen are the aggressive and magnificently carved Knights. Nothing compares. The Hastings 1895 Series is a Limited Edition of only 200 sets.

The Hastings Series Chessmen features a 4.0" King with a 1.875" diameter base and weighs an incredible 66 ounces It also comes with gold embossed leather pads on both Kings, a personalized Certificate of Authenticity and an original manufacturer's label indicating the production number is affixed to the underside of each box. Each set consists of 34 Chessmen, 17 light and 17 dark (including the two additional Queens.)
