A heritage design reimagined for modern collectors and players.
This exquisite set is a faithful reproduction of the Jaques of London circa 1849 Leuchar Staunton pattern, crafted with care, character, and affordability in mind.
Chessmen:
Expertly carved from high-grade boxwood and deep-toned ebonised wood, these reproduction pieces capture the elegant aesthetic of traditional ebony without the cost.
