Lessing Series (1927-37) are 17th and the last of recognized variants of staunton pattern chess pieces.
Our design is a precise reproduction of the last officially recognized design launched by Jacques of London. As with the originals, this set has been traditionally weighted using lead infused at the base of the chess pieces.
The set has been masterfully crafted in Genuine Ebony Wood and Boxwood with skilled artisanal work done on the knights.
Completely untreated and non dyed Ebony has been used on the black army. If looked closely, buyers will be able to see a beautiful grain pattern in the ebony side of the set.
This design confirms well to the traditional staunton pattern with no sharp edges or delicate carvings. The sturdy design of the pieces make it a joy to hold and play with.

I rarely write reviews but made an exception here because in light of my happiness I felt compelled to blurt this into the world and help other shoppers. I ordered these 3.9โ Lessing Staunton last Friday, and they were delivered from India to Germany by today (Wednesday). I had no hassle with import/customs formalities. The pieces arrived in perfect condition and are absolutely stunning and just as advertised. They fit perfectly on 55mm squares but are also fully acceptable on 57mm (2.25โ) squares.
The entire website and shopping functionality incl payment and tracking were also perfect. Overall an absolutely amazing buy and shopping experience and I could not be more pleased. Thank you so much!!
