The Birth of the Staunton Pattern Design: Named after Howard Staunton, the first Staunton set was produced by John Jaques of London. Designed for functionality and large-scale production, its rugged, stable bases prevented tumbling.
A Piece of Art: Handcrafted in India, this reproduction of the 1849 Staunton design reflects unparalleled craftsmanship. The base of the kings bears our brand stamp, and expert carvers have meticulously refined every detail, resulting in a true masterpiece.
New Ivory White (Boxwood): The 1849 Staunton set in a striking white color showcases meticulous carving. This exceptional chess set takes nearly a week to craft, making it truly unique.
Uniformity of Pieces: Turned pieces are shaped using metal profiles, ensuring identical designs, especially for pawns. Hand-carved knights may have slight variations.
