These Old English Elite Staunton chess pieces are by far one the finest examples of Staunton chessmen available. The design is vintage Staunton with every element taking its cue from the legendary chess sets of the British Victorian era. Most remarkable is how the shanks are so perfectly curved and attractively pinched in the center, making the pieces perfectly proportioned. The pieces are of course weighted in their bases and demonstrate excellent balance. The uniformity of all the chessmen is outstanding, and it's well nigh impossible to spot any difference between the knights. In order to achieve this only one knight carver makes all four knights. You'll appreciate then that these chessmen are produced in limited quantities, in batches of only five sets.

The chessmen are carved from the highest grade black ebony and clean grain boxwood. Ebony is fast becoming more and more scarce and prices continue to increase, making these chessmen a great investment opportunity. No lacquer is used on these chess pieces to create their awesome finish; the laborious hand polishing of the dense hard woods produces this, something you won't find in inferior sets. Each of these chess sets is given a unique number and certified as a genuine Regency Chess Company product. These magnificent chessmen represent the finest quality available and will sit happily on a 20 inch board.
