This package includes our Wellington Staunton Chess Set in Ebony and boxwood matched with our Black and Ash Burl Chess Board. This eye-catching chess set is named after the Duke of Wellington whom defeated Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo and is without a doubt one of the finest Staunton chess sets we have ever produced. The Wellington blends contemporary and traditional Staunton design resulting in a truly unique chess set from every angle. The knights are extraordinary with finely carved detail including the mane, eyes, ears, nostrils, and teeth. The other pieces are equally impressive with beautiful profiles and shapes. The lathe work is remarkable with compound collars and eloquent lines perfectly turned into each piece. Even the design of the rook stands out with a unique parapet and crenelations. The pawns are wonderfully large making them easy to handle during the game. The king is 4.25' tall with a 2' wide base and features an ornate finial that is unique from any other chess set in our collection. 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. Our Black and Ash Burl High Gloss Deluxe Chess Board is one of our favorite choices for ebony and boxwood pieces - the colors are a perfect match. The board is finished in glass-like high gloss polyurethane that creates a beautiful reflection and makes for a striking show piece. The board and pieces together are nothing less than a true piece of art. Whether you are a collector or looking for your one special chess set, you will be thoroughly pleased with the Patton! This heirloom quality chess set made from genuine ebony and boxwood is not only a good investment for these times but it will make every chess game all the more enjoyable and is sure to become one of your treasured possessions that will be handed down for generations.Chess Pieces: Ebony & Boxwood Pieces individually hand polished with solid lacquer and buffing wheel King Height: 4.25' King Base: 1.875' King Weight: 4.2 oz.
