Nothing can heighten your Chess playing experience more than the feel and weight of finely crafted Staunton Chess set. We are proud to offer the latest masterpiece from the House of Staunton, the heirloom quality Morphy Series Chessmen. These chessmen are a reintroduction of a design produced by the Jaques firm between 1850 and 1851. The form, board presence and exquisite craftsmanship of these magnificent chessmen have been recaptured and are offered to you.
The Morphy Series Chessmen features either a 4.0" King with a 1.875" diameter base and weighs an incredible 66 ounces OR a 4.4" King with a 2.0" diameter base and weighs an incredible 86 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.
The Chessmen are new and come housed in a premium House of Staunton Red Burl box which is lined in green billiard cloth, divided and features brass quadrant hinges and a lock & key. The House of Staunton logo is laser etched on the lid of the box. Each set consists of 34 Chessmen, 17 light and 17 dark (including the two additional Queens.) |
