1849 Jacques Cook Staunton Collectors Chess Set- Chess Pieces Only - Red & White - 3.75"
$374.00 NZD
Regular price
Our 3.75" King, tournament sized chessmen are modeled after the famous Staunton Pattern chessmen designed by a famous wood turner John Jacques and registered by his associate Nathaniel Cooke on 1st March 1849.
Each Piece of this design follows a defined grammar. The sturdy rooks are designed to look like solid castles with impregnable walls, pawns are made to look minimalist with slim collars, bishops with simple mitres, the tall elegant king readily distinguished by its cross and the queen has a distinctive coronet.
Showstoppers of the set, Knight are inspired by the horses in the Elgin Marbles from the Athenian Parthenon.
The timeless beauty and the utility of these staunton pattern chessmen has made it the set of choice for players and a highly prized design for collectors.
Any chess collection is simply incomplete without a reproduction of this design.

The set is a fairly accurate reproduction of the 1849 Jaques set. It is very well made and excellent for play. I bought the red and white version and am delighted with it. I would be more than happy to get other Royal Chess Mall sets.

This is a beautiful set of chess pieces. The design from 1849 is arguably perfection. I especially like the rooks because they have a noticeably wider base than the knights and bishops. They do count 5 points for crying out loud. That being said, all the pieces and pawns are so well done. The red that was used is stunning. I like high contrast between the armies when I play chess and got it with this red and white set. Red is more visible than black on the board in my eyes. It feels nostalgic using the same carved design that the top players from the 1850's were battling it out with...Morphy for one!
