1849 Jacques Cook Staunton Collectors Chess Set- Chess Pieces Only - Ebony Wood - 3.75"

Our 3.75" King, tournament sized chessmen are modeled after the famous Staunton Pattern chessmen designed by a famous woodturner John Jacques and registered by his associate Nathaniel Cooke on 1st March 1849.

Each Piece of this design follows a defined grammar. The sturdy rooks are designed to look like solid castles with impregnable walls, pawns are made to look minimalist with slim collars, bishops with simple miters, the tall elegant king is readily distinguished by its cross and the queen has a distinctive coronet.

Showstoppers of the set, Knight are inspired by the horses in the Elgin Marbles from the Athenian Parthenon.

The timeless beauty and the utility of these Staunton chess pieces have made it the set of choice for players and a highly prized design for collectors.

Any chess collection is simply incomplete without a reproduction of this design.
