A stunning reproduction Staunton chess set featuring 1869-style ebony pieces with crown markings, a walnut chessboard by Rechapados Ferrer, and a handmade wooden storage box.

In particular, the knights and bishops are beautifully detailed, and as reproduction pieces they also bear the original marks of the king's crown on 1 black knight, 1 black rook, 1 white knight and 1 white rook. Placed on the king's flank, this was a practical innovation to identify their position on the king’s side of the board, as, in descriptive chess notation, the rooks and knights were often referred to as being the ‘queen's knight ' or the ‘king’s rook’.

Please note that these pieces now come with only red crown markings, rather than silver and red. Images to be updated soon.

We have matched these lovely chessmen with a stunning walnut and maple chessboard created by the world-famous Rechapados Ferrer of Spain. With the addition of a lovely handmade wooden storage box, this is a stunning combination of quality materials and expert workmanship, offering amazing value for money.
