This chess set includes a set of our New Exclusive Staunton chess pieces in acacia wood and boxwood together with our walnut loose-piece chess box. The New Exclusive Staunton has all of the features that avid chess players and collectors looks for in an upper-end Staunton chess set. From the elegant profile with a large tapered base to the extraordinary knights carved by some of the best craftsmen in the world, you will be thoroughly impressed with the quality of these Staunton chessmen. The king is 3 tall and has a 1.375 base - an excellent size for the casual game at home! The pieces are triple weighted for exceptional stability and have thick green baize pads for a soft landing on the chess board. We include a certificate of authenticity so you will always know what the chess set is, where it came from, and when it was made. The chess box is wonderfully constructed and reminiscent of the old heirloom quality chess boxes from many years ago. The box is covered in walnut veneer and the interior is lined with a thick green baize just like we use for the pads on our chess pieces. The box has a divider in the center for storing the black and white pieces separately. We used high quality recessed hinges and a brass plated lock for securing the lid. We include 2 keys in case one ever gets lost.Chess Pieces: Includes 34 Pieces with 2 Extra Queens (Does Not Include Chess Board); Golden Rosewood & Boxwood; Pieces individually hand polished with solid lacquer and buffing wheel; King Height: 3; King Base: 1.375; King Weight: 1.8 Ounces; Chess Set Weight: 35 Ounces; Green Baize Cloth Pads; Recommended Chess Board Size: 1.75 - 2 Squares; Chess Box: Material: Walnut Veneers & Other Wood; Finish: Satin Polyurethane; Outside Dimensions: 8.25 x 5.625 x 3.75 ; Inside Dimension: 7.25 x 4.5 x 2.5 (.75 space above in lid); High Quality Hinges and Lock - Comes with 2 Keys;
