1849-50 Leuchars Cook Staunton Chess Set- Chess Pieces Only - Ebony Wood & Antiqued Boxwood - 4.5"

US $459.95
Leuchars Set is named after William Leuchars, a retailer who sold the first Jaques sets in 1849 from his upmarket shop in Picadilly. Leuchars Knight's are typified by a plain version of the cook knight. This design was very rare and sold in few sets retailed by Leuchars. Sets of this design were retailed in Ivory combinations as well as boxwood & ebony.

The Set is specifically designed for Chess Collectors Community with careful consideration being made in crafting the chess pieces. Each Piece is meticulously crafted with utmost precision so that the chess set is perfect in all aspects of construction.

The pieces have been Antiqued to give the effect of patina on vintage chessmen and will take the proud owners back in time to 1849. 
These Chessmen are a perfect amalgamation of form and function and their elegant aesthetics are in no way compromised by their practical utility. 

The styling of each of the Leuchars Cook Chess pieces follows a certain defined grammar. The King is represented by his crown, The Queen, by her coronet. The Bishops wear distinctive miters with deep clefts. The Knights – generally considered the showstoppers among all Chessmen – have flared nostrils and high crowned manes. The Castles look solid, as they should, with widely crenulated battlements, while the pawns are topped by a plain ball.

They will find great favour with chess players, collectors and hobbyist for their distinctive looks, for the heft and solidity of their feel, for their stability which comes from their wide and weighted bases, and from the felt-lined bottoms of their bases, which create an illusion that they are floating on the Chessboard.

Excelentes piezas Leuchars cook 1849-50

Estás piezas son únicas! , te hacen pensar en Morphy, Andersen, Staunton , La Pentier , etc . Son piezas que te invitan a tocarlas , el ébano frío , negro como la noche y con ese look brillante. El Boj envejecido , no es verdaderamente un look envejecido, más bien, es un look ámbar o amarillento, es muy particular y tiene su encanto en sí mismo, pero , no es exactamente un boj envejecido/oxidado, esto hay que tomarlo en cuenta , a mí me han gustado mucho, pero podría entender que para algunos fuese "demasiado" . El detalle del diseño es único , las bases son muy anchas , las piezas si bien son robustas a la vez son elegantes , el rey impone , los caballos son evidentemente los chicos malos de todo el conjunto, los peones son muy particulares, si bien simples , la base ancha les da un look único de sofisticación o singularidad. Tuve un pequeño problema con el Rey blanco el cual me vino manchado de rojo , y Royalchess en muy poco tiempo me repusieron la pieza , la calidad de atención es impecable muy diferente a otras páginas. En resumen unas verdaderas joyas si te gustan las piezas clásicas con un toque particular.

Muy sobrio y envejecido impresionante!

Las piezas de boj envejecido doradas simulan 70 años de antigüedad, piezas de ébano impecables y totalmente sobrias, diseño fiel Nath cooke para coleccionismo contemporáneo , set hermoso! Aunque recibí la base de la dama quebrada sé que sin problemas me será reemplazada en este mi doceavo set

CLASSY GIANT

This set of Chessmen is for Collectors. The King standing a true 4.5 inches tall towers over his subjects like the tallest skyscraper in a City Skyline. Every piece is handcrafted with care and great attention to detail - especially the knights. The Luechars knight is slightly different than the Cooke knight and these are done perfectly.
The deepest cut Bishops I have ever seen and the mighty Rooks - all the pieces look good and look good together. Very happy to own this collection and when they are not involved in a serious battle they will be on display in my Living Room.

Esperaba que tuviesen las medidas anunciadas

Las piezas no tienen el diámetro anunciado. Es menor a lo que anuncian.
