1900s' American Chess Company Reproduction Chess Set - Chess Pieces Only - Ebony & Boxwood - 3.9" King

$10,784.00 TWD

Experience a piece of chess history with this meticulously crafted reproduction of the early 1900s American Chess Company chess set. Handcrafted from ebony and boxwood, each piece reflects the robust and solid design characteristic of the original set, offering both aesthetic appeal and functional stability.

The original set gained prominence during the prestigious 1904 Cambridge Springs International Chess Congress, the first major international chess tournament in America in the twentieth century. This tournament featured seven of the world's top ten players, including renowned figures like Emanuel Lasker, Dawid Janowski, and Frank Marshall, who emerged victorious.

Historically, these sets were available in various sizes, ranging from 3.25 inches to 4.4 inches, and were offered in both weighted and unweighted versions. The original pieces were sold in Ebony and Plain Boxwood, known for their thick, robust bodies that provided a solid and steady feel during play. 

This 3.9-inch King reproduction stays true to the original design, capturing the essence of vintage American craftsmanship. It's an ideal addition for collectors and chess enthusiasts seeking a blend of historical significance and timeless elegance.

Some American History

The 1904 Cambridge Springs International chess tournament inspired this reproduction chess set. Very well crafted in ebony and boxwood, the knight distinguishes itself from other typical equestrian figures. Some may call it a Llama, others say a laughing horse. Either way, it's quite enjoyable and notably unique amongst most other chess knights. Along with comments from my friends regarding the knight, some also remarked on the hefty weight of the ebony pieces (measured at 17% more than the boxwood counterparts). An elegant set with early 20th century styling, and a nice addition to my collection.

Cambridge Springs set

Am very pleased with this excellent reproduction in ebony and natural boxwood of the Cambridge Springs set, as used in the first US international tournament in Cambridge Springs, Pennsylvania in 1904. (Last year I bought the cheaper ebonised version of the set, but the light pieces were were a disappointing streaked dark coffee colour which I decided I couldn't live with). The ebony and natural boxwood version is well worth the extra cost.
