The Royale Series

New Staunton Style Ebonized Chessmen with a different twist!

Looking for chessmen with a slightly different flair? Look no further than the Royale Series chessmen from the House of Staunton. The chessmen have some minor deviations from the strict Staunton pattern in the Kings' and Queens' finials, but the over-all effect is a very pleasing design. No more turning a Rook upside down when you promote to a second Queen, this set of chessmen comes standard with four (4) Queens! The boxwood chessmen are displayed in the image that follows.

Technically, as stated earlier, the set is a nicely stylized Staunton. The set is well turned and finished, with crisp detail, and lacks the numerous tool marks, burrs and burns so prevalent in sets manufactured in India.

The Ebonized chessmen are displayed next.

We are offering the set in a fine Black leatherette case,divided and lined in white satin and gold suede. Chessboards and clocks can be ordered separately.
