These large Atlantic chessmen present a most attractive interpretation of the classic design going by the name of Staunton that we all love. These chess pieces have been expertly carved and polished by some of the world's most talented chess carvers. The white pieces are fashioned from boxwood, the mainstay of all quality chess pieces. On the opposing side sit sixteen chessmen carved in fine rosewood. These are a deep reddish brown color and can be expected to darken naturally as the years pass. These chessmen are double weighted and felted on their bases.
The knights have small ears and a toothy grin; they abound in character while retaining a solid carving that will endure many years of chess play. These pieces represent a sophisticated addition to your dresser or display cabinet and are also a pleasure to handle. These superb chess pieces are finished with a time consuming process that results in a lacquer free natural shine to the beautiful wood.
These large chessmen will sit perfectly on a board with a square size of 2.25 inches (57 mm) or greater. These pieces are also available in a smaller size with a 3.75 inch king, see Atlantic Series Rosewood Staunton Chess Pieces 3.75 Inches
