The chess set design is of the House of Staunton collector series chessmen.

Feature a 4.0" King with a 2" Diameter base and are very heavily weighted. These Chessmen are an exact replica of the original Chessmen, down to the smallest details replicated in plastic and marked on the base os the Kings. The Chess pieces are heavily weighted. The design, quality and craftsmanship of this set is UNMATCHED. Extra queens.
The set comes in a gorgeous, period-specific box. The original by Jaques of London in 1849, this faithful reproduction of the original was designed and made in a limited edition by Frank A.
