The Regency Chess Company

Beautifully crafted from ebony and antiqued boxwood. Superb detail and high-quality finish. Imperious 4.4-inch (11 cm) king and broad bases. Perfectly weighted and felted. Matched with a stunning 23.6-inch Spanish board. Complemented with a handcrafted wooden box and clock. This stunning Staunton chess set features 4.4-inch ebony and antiqued boxwood pieces, a high-gloss 23.6-inch Spanish palisander board, a solid sheesham storage case, and a traditional wind-up clock - a true collector's piece. The king is an imposing figure at 4.4 inches, and along with his army, is perfectly weighted for balance with billiard cloth-covered bases for board protection. The ebony quality and unique antiqued boxwood make this set not only an enviable acquisition but also a good investment and heirloom for future generations. The boxwood is intentionally antiqued, giving it a charming, vintage look. Its weathered texture and subtle variations are part of the design, adding character and warmth. Beautifully crafted by the world-famous Rechapados Ferrer of Spain, this 23.6-inch board with its 2.36-inch playing squares, makes a perfect battlefield for the Reproduction Staunton chessmen. High-grade veneers of rich palisander have been utilised to create the stunning border around the black anegre and light maple squares in the playing area. The deep gloss lacquer finish not only protects the board but also accentuates the wood grain in the veneers. Whilst not in play, you will want a storage container that matches the elegance and luxury of your board and pieces. We have therefore chosen the handcrafted solid sheesham wood chess piece case. Inside, you will find the green flocked compartment providing a safe space that will not scratch or damage your pieces. Please note: some cases are with clasp closure and some with a magnetic closure. We ship on availability at the time of order. To complete your set, we have included a traditional wooden chess clock with a wind-up mechanism. If you are looking to be more competitive in your game, please check out our range of Chess clocks.
