These Staunton chesspieces are crafted with precision and represent the epitome of quality. The traditional design pays homage to the Victorian era, and the curved shanks and broad bases create a perfectly balanced and proportioned set. Each piece is expertly weighted in the base, ensuring uniformity and excellent craftsmanship. Only one skilled knight carver is employed to create all of the knights, resulting in a limited production of just five sets at a time. 

The chess pieces are crafted from premium black ebony and clean grained boxwood, making them a valuable investment opportunity due to the increasing rarity of ebony. They have been skillfully polished to a natural shine without the use of lacquer, showcasing the expert craftsmanship of these dense hard woods. Each set is individually numbered and certified as an authentic product from the Regency Chess Company.

The accompanying chess board, created by the esteemed family Manopoulos in Greece, exudes both elegance and quality. Crafted from durable Walnut and Maple veneer, this board boasts an artisanal aesthetic reminiscent of yesteryear. It is the ideal complement to our Old English Elite collection of chess pieces, offering exceptional value for your investment.
