The Chessmen

The House of Staunton is proud to offer the Bolzano Series Artisan Chess Set. A full club-sized Chess set, it features a 4.4" King with a 1.875" diameter base. The Chess pieces are hand carved by our master artisans and crafted out of the highest grade woods. The Chess pieces are heavily weighted with a beautiful finish.

As with all of our Chess sets, the Bolzano Series exemplifies a perfect combination of distinct beauty and functionality. It has been designed to withstand the rigors of practical play while maintaining an elegance which has become the hallmark of a House of Staunton chess set. The design, quality and craftsmanship of this set is UNMATCHED by any set of Chessmen in its price range. Nothing even comes close!

The Chessmen are new and each set consists of 34 Chessmen, including four Queens, a standard that was introduced by The House of Staunton in 1993.

THE CHESSBOARD

Crafted in Italy, the House of Staunton Superior Traditional Elm Burl / Maple wooden Chessboard (2.5" Squares) features Elm Burl (dark) and Maple (light) squares with a Elm Burl frame. This veneered Chessboard is 0.5" thick, has a gloss finish and a beautiful moulded edge.

THE CHESSBOX

The House of Staunton Fitted Coffer provides the highest level of protection for your chessmen.

It features brass quadrant hinges, a removable top tray and a lock and key with tassel. Available with or without The House of Staunton Logo laser engraved on the lid. This item can also be personalized for gift giving.
