Description
Windsor Staunton Rosewood Chess Pieces.
Offered here is a new set of Windsor Staunton Chess Pieces in Boxwood and East Indian Rosewood, heavily weighted, with green felt base pads. The full tournament-size King stands 4-0″ tall with a 1-1/2″ diameter base. This design is characterized by the stout Bishops and imposing Rooks. The Knights are very well articulated and resemble the Jaques Marshall chessmen of the 1900s. This set is very durable and is completely legal for sanctioned tournament play. These chess pieces are similar in design to those used in the 1960-vintage Windsor Castle chessmen. The chessmen are unused and were produced by The Amritsar Ivory Works in India around 2000.
The Chessmen play and display best on a chessboard with 2-1/4″ squares. The chessboard shown is not included with this sale, but a suitable chessboard can be found among our extensive selection of new and antique chessboards.
