Vintage Reproduction of 1915-1925 Nimzovich Staunton Chess Pieces in Ebony & Boxwood – 3.75" King with King's Side Stamping

Introduction: After the overwhelming response to our Reproduced Jaques Vintage Collection, chessbazaar® proudly adds a remarkable new entry to its vintage chess family — the Reproduction of the 1915 1925 Nimzovich Staunton Pattern Chess Set. This exquisite design, nearly impossible to find today in playable condition, is a collector’s dream that originally cost thousands of dollars when available. Our reproduction is a respectful tribute, offering chess enthusiasts a rare opportunity to own and play with a historically significant and visually striking chess set that once defined an era. Handcrafted in high-quality Ebony Wood and Natural Boxwood, the set features a 3.75 inch Tournament Size King with a wide 1.73 inch base. Each piece is double weighted for optimal balance and fitted with thick green felt for smooth and stable board movement. The knight, the highlight of the set, is deeply carved with expressive detail, showcasing the elite craftsmanship of our Indian artisans. The design remains faithful to the original Nimzovich Staunton pattern, known for its minimalist elegance and professional functionality. What makes this set even more special is the King's Side stamping, a traditional crown emblem engraved on the foreheads of knights and rooks placed on the King's side, serving both aesthetic and functional value.

The King stands at 3.75 inches tall with a solid 1.73-inch base, perfectly balanced and weighted for premium feel and control. The unique knight, a true highlight of the set, reflects exceptional craftsmanship with deep carving and character. The design is faithful to the original Nimzovich era style — refined, minimalistic, and professional.

Material: Dark pieces are carved from premium Ebony Wood — a favorite for luxury chess pieces due to its durability, visual appeal, and rich tone. Light pieces are made from Natural Boxwood, a traditional and elegant choice.

Weight:1366 grams (48.18 oz). Please note that the weight in the set is added manually so the final weight of the set can vary by plus or minus (±) 10%.

Each piece is double-weighted and felted with green baize pads at the base, ensuring smooth glide and a satisfying thud on the board. The set comes with 34 pieces including 2 extra queens for effortless pawn promotion.

Craftsmanship: All pieces are hand-turned and polished to a semi-gloss finish. Knights are hand-carved with precision, highlighting fine details around the mane, muzzle, and ears. Uniformity in other pieces is ensured through metal profile guidance.

This heritage reproduction is ideal for display or play and matches beautifully with a 55 mm square board (sold separately). You may click here to find a matching board at our store.
