This package includes our Deluxe Old Club Staunton Chess Set in African Padauk and Boxwood matched with our exclusive Mission Craft Padauk and Maple Molded Chess Board. This eye-catching chess set in colorful African padauk and boxwood is exquisite. Our Deluxe Old Club Staunton chess set is a favorite and a design that nearly every chess player is familiar with. It's commonly used for the art on chess book covers and is one of the most popular chess sets for tournament play. The knight has a simple form with only basic detail yet with a handsome look that players and collectors love. The other pieces have graceful curves and shapes that you expect to see on an old Staunton design. The king is 3.75" tall with a 1.625" wide base and features a traditional formee cross. The pieces are triple-weighted to produce a low-center of gravity and exceptional stability on the chess board. The pieces are padded with thick green baize for a nice cushion when picking up and moving or sliding across the chess board. The pieces are individually hand polished to beautiful luster.
