The Atlantic series represents a highly attractive interpretation of the classic Staunton design that we all know & love. These chess men have been expertly carved & polished by some of the worlds most experienced chess carvers. The white pieces are fashioned in boxwood, the mainstay of all fine chess pieces. In opposition are sixteen chess men carved in fine rosewood. These have a deep red/brown colour to them & can be expected to darken naturally in future years & decades.

The Atlantic series Staunton chess pieces take on a contemporary modern feel with this black & natural lacquered version. All of the pieces are turned from high grade boxwood, the black pieces are finished in a black lacquer that has been polished to a deep shine. In order to preserve a continuity within the set the white pieces are also gloss lacquered with a polished clear coat. These fine chess pieces are double weighted & generously felted on their bases. The gloss lacquering doesn't take away any of the fine detailing of the pieces & the extremes in tone gives excellent contrast on the chess board. The knight is robust enough to endure many years in the battle field while retaining some of his goofy character & presence. The neat 'tucked in' ears allow for plenty of chess playing without fear of damaging it's ornamental appeal. As with all Staunton sets we sell the proportions of the pieces are all in perfect harmony with each other. Setting up the pieces on the board demonstrates just how perfectly sized each one is in relation to it's neighbor. These chess men will sit perfectly on a chess board with a square size of two inches or greater. Our 20 inch &23 inch chess boards will compliment this set perfectly. ...

Ambassador Series Red Sandalwood Luxury Chess Pieces 4.4 Inches

The Ambassador series chessmen are a unique take on the classic Staunton design. The most striking aspect is of course the king who seems to have two crowns, one seemingly inserted into the other. Because the King is the main focus of this set each one comes supplied with two finials (the small cross insert that fits in the top) so you can change the appearance of the king as you see fit (see both types in the photograph). The bridled knight is another very unique piece, it features highly detailed carving and almost cartoon like features. It has a great expression, almost with a slightly friendly demeanour. The set has been has been expertly carved from graded boxwood and red sandalwood, is triple weighted and features a 4.4 inch king height. Like all Regency Chess Company luxury sets
there has been no compromise in the standard of quality and finish. The uniformity of the carvings and wood tones is fantastic, of course the red sandalwood gives a stunning rich tone that no other wood can come close to. These fine chessmen will sit perfectly on any of our 23 inch boards. A total of four queens are included as is a genuine certificate of authenticity.
