Nothing can heighten your Chess playing experience more than
the feel and weight of finely crafted Staunton Chess set. We are proud to offer
a masterpiece from the House of Staunton, the heirloom quality Capablanca
Series
Chessmen. These are far superior to any production Staunton pattern chess set
available today at ANY PRICE! The set features exquisitely
carved Knights and four Queens, a standard introduced
by The House of Staunton over 10 years ago
As
with all House of Staunton
Chessmen, they exemplify the
perfect combination of beauty
and functionality. The design,
quality and craftsmanship of
this set is UNMATCHED by any set
of Chessmen in its price range.
Nothing even comes close!
It has been designed to withstand the rigors of practical play
while maintaining an elegance which has become the hallmark of a House of Staunton chess
set.
The Capablanca
Series Chessmen are exquisitely carved and very heavily weighted,
with a 4.0"
King and a 1.875"
diameter base. The chessmen weigh a massive 60 ounces.
This set comes standard with four
(4) Queens.
The Chess Set comes with a personalized Certificate of Authenticity and a
paper original manufacturer's label indicating the production number, with an
adhesive backing that would allow it to be affixed to the underside of a Chess
box.
The chessmen are brand new and come housed in a cardboard box.
Box Upgrades are also available! Please contact
us for more details.

These Chessmen are crafted from premium Boxwood
and Genuine Ebony. Ebony is a very luxurious and expensive
hardwood that is a very dense, jet black in color and has a natural gloss. It
has a very fine grain and can exhibit some blond grain streaking. Ebony is
most famous of the ornamental woods and has been treasured for literally
thousands of years. Archaeologists have found Ebony carvings and statues in
the tombs of the ancient Egyptian Pharaohs, including the legendary King
Tutankhamun (Tut) who died more than 3,300 years ago..
