Highly detailed and superbly finished, the Reproduction Staunton Chessmen 1849 Model 11.18 cm King are handcrafted in ebony and boxwood in the world famous and classic Staunton design.
Supplied by the same chess workshop that produces some of the world's finest chessmen, these stunning pieces have been turned from solid wood then painstakingly carved with beautiful detailing.
At 11.18 cm, the king is an imposing figure and along with his supporting army, is perfectly weighted for balance with billiard cloth covered bases for board protection.
