4.3" St. George Pre-Staunton Calvert Chess Set- Chess Pieces Only – Bud Rosewood & Boxwood
$475.00 NZD
Regular price
St George's Chess Set was named so after the famous St. George chess club in England. This design was amongst the most popular designs in the pre-staunton era and originally designed by John Calvert.
The quality of craftsmanship on these chessmen is quite extraordinary and something which only an expert carver with years of experience can achieve.
Each piece is lovingly hand-carved and hand-turned by experienced master artisans with years of experience crafting luxury chess pieces.
They have then been artificially aged to give effect of vintage patina on the chessmen. Double Weighted with Lead studs, these chessmen have substantial ballast to them to ensure great stability on the chessboard.
They are heirloom quality chessmen which will last for many decades to come.

This is a lovely reproduction of an "Old English" set which combined features of both the St. George and Calvert design of the early 19th century. The finish is superb and the color of the dark pieces is gorgeous. Heavily weighted. Great for display and sturdy enough for playing and analysis. Delivery was within the promised period. I'd purchase here again.
