Certificate of Authenticity included.
This Chess Baron Product: Rosewood and Boxwood. One of the recognized designs of chess sets by John Calvert - however note the difference with all other sets (that we know of) for this design - these chess pieces are weighted! The genre was always a beautiful design but had the problem of being easily tipped over and feeling inadequate due to having no weight. In time weight was added for stability, but it's rare to find chess sets of this time period that are weighted and felted like this. A beautiful design, a wonderful example of period chess sets. This is a reproduction, and comes with the love and care of modern day artisans. The set says 'distinctive' and 'different' throughout the design. If you need a board, try the B2008 with 1.75 inch squares.
Chess Baron: It's all about the customer.
| ChessBaron is genuinely committed to a high quality hand carved product. Chess Sets like this, of this level of qualityare becoming rarer and rarer in this commoditized world. It's just too tempting to give in to the short term desirefor profit and so to skimp on materials to make the item less expensive, cutting this corner and shaving that edge.ChessBaron is making profit too, but we intend to be around for your children and your grandchildren, serving themas we wish to serve you, with integrity, honesty and pride. |
