The Staunton chess piece set "King's Bridal" impresses with meticulous craftsmanship evident in every piece.
The knight features intricate details that resemble the characteristics of a horse's head, even displaying the reins. The king has beautifully contoured features that were carefully turned, and the raised battlements of the rook are particularly prominent. These qualities give the set a distinctive beauty, bringing each piece to life.
The chess pieces in this set are crafted from premium boxwood and acacia wood, with the knights expertly hand-carved. The remaining pieces are precisely turned and then meticulously finished by hand to create their fine details and elegant forms. Each piece is felted and weighted, ensuring not only the preservation of the chessboard's surface but also facilitating excellent handling for lightning-fast chess moves. Chessboards made from mahogany or walnut wood complement this chess piece set particularly well in terms of colour.
With a king height of 98 mm, these chess pieces meet the FIDE's specifications for chess equipment, making them well-suited for tournaments and competitions. The set also includes additional queens, allowing for the representation of two queens on the chessboard in the event of pawn promotion, without the need for replacement pieces.
To optimally present the chess pieces, it is recommended to use a chessboard with square sizes ranging from 55 to 58 mm. On such a chessboard, the pieces shine brilliantly, and the balanced proportions between the chess pieces and the chessboard contribute to the overall aesthetic effect.
