The Flower Series Staunton Chessmen are a most unusual take on the classic Staunton design and they abound in character. With mouths wide open the knights seem to be having an in depth conversation with each other. This edition of the Flower Series comes from the genuine author of the design and has been crafted to a supremely high standard. The finishing of the pieces is to a level usually only found on much more expensive chess sets. Each piece is double weighted with a felted base, the seamless polishing with sharply defined edges produces chessmen that feel wonderful in the hand.

The chess board at almost 18 inches in width is finished in a high gloss lacquer which reflects the chess pieces beautifully, creating a chess set that embraces both traditional and modern style. The board is manufactured using top quality veneers of black anegre and maple woods. This truly is an enchanting chess set combination.
