The Broadbase Staunton chess pieces set offers some of the most attractive lines and curves we have seen on a chess set of this price range. This version is fashioned in selected Boxwood and Rosewood with only the most experienced chess carvers used to turn and polish the pieces. This set represents everything that is beautiful about the classic Staunton design that has dominated chess for well over 100 years.
The broad base of this set gives it superb balance and a lovely feel. The double weighting means that these pieces are firmly anchored on the chess board yet ready to glide seamlessly on to your next move. This fine set of chess pieces will become a family heirloom and a sure investment for future generations as the price of fine hardwood like this continue to soar.
This set will sit well on a board with squares of 2 inches or greater in size. Our 23 inch boards will compliment it perfectly. If you prefer a more traditional feel to your Staunton chess sets this set is also available in graded ebony see: Broadbase Ebony Staunton Chess Pieces 4 Inches
