The Windsor Series Staunton chessmen are by far one the finest examples of Staunton chessmen available. The chessmen are made from the highest grade black ebony and clean grained boxwood. The value of ebony continues to rise as it becomes more and more scarce, making this set an excellent investment opportunity. They have been expertly finished and polished to a natural shine. No lacquer is used to create this superb finish, it's the meticulous hand polishing of the dense hard woods that have created such an immaculate finish, something you won't find in entry level sets.These stunning chessmen represent the finest quality available and will sit beautifully upon the 20 inch Manopoulos Walnut chess board.

Renowned for their expertise in marquetry and backgammon sets, the board is produced by the reputable family Manopoulous, based in Greece. It is a superbly presented wooden chess board and represents great value for money. Quality Walnut and Maple veneered construction has produced a board with an old fashioned artisanal feel and look about it.

This set is complemented with a perfectly constructed laminated wenge coloured large wooden Chess Piece case. Manufactured by the famous family run company Manopoulos of Greece, you can rest assured it has been well made by expert craftsmen. Featuring a large compartment together with the addition of brass colour hinges and the Manopoulos signature brass clasps to keep the lid closed, the resulting product is a timeless classic.

Please note that when the chessmen are placed in the box it is normal and intentional for them to lay down on top of each other. They are NOT intended to stand up inside the box.
