Ami Elizabeth Staunton – Ebonised Black Chess Set

Chess Set, Chess Pieces – This luxury chess set is one of the best value items in our inventory. The detail of carving is excellent and the pieces are triple weighted which gives a real sense of luxury to the chess set. The design note on the knight is slightly understated – note the slight lift on the top of the nose. The wood is ebonised, a process that blackens the colour and allows an attractive aging effect. The rook is slender and has a lovely balance. The selection is perfect for tournament play and is a luxury chess set to admire. The board would be best with 2 inch squares.
