These stunning chess pieces have been turned from solid wood and then painstakingly carved with beautiful detailing. At 4.4 inches, the king is a towering, elegant figure with his intricate finial and double banding detail on his collar. He, along with every piece in his supporting army, is perfectly weighted for balance, and billiard cloth is applied to their bases to protect your chess board.

You will notice that the kings in this set are branded at the base with the words “1851”. These ebony reproduction pieces also bear the king's crown marking on one white knight, one white rook, one black knight and one black rook. These pieces sit on the king's flank.

The high-quality grade of ebony and boxwood used to create this set makes it not only an enviable acquisition but also a worthy investment and phenomenal heirloom for future generations.

For the king’s height and broad base in this set, these lovely chess pieces are best matched with chess boards from 21 inches with larger squares. We also have a wide range of chess piece storage cases, if you can bear to put these lovely ornaments away.
