The Lasker 1890 Series Chess Set
     The Newest Edition to our Timeless Collection - Available November 25th

 
 


CLICK ON THE IMAGES OF THE LASKER FOR HIGH RESOLUTION IMAGE 

The House of Staunton is proud to introduce our newest masterpiece - The Lasker 1890 Series Chess Set. Part of our Timeless Collection, the Lasker 1890 Series Chess set is exact reproduction of the Jaques of London Chessmen Circa 1890 Lasker Staunton Pattern Chessmen. These Chessmen feature a 4.4" King with a 2.0" Diameter base and are very heavily weighted. These Chessmen are an exact match to the original detail, down to the smallest details! 

The most striking aspect of the Lasker 1890 Series Chess Set is the beautiful patina on the Boxwood (White) Chessmen. Our artisans have accurately captured  the rich, golden color commonly found on well preserved antique Chess sets. Simply put, these Chessmen look like they could very well be over 110 years old!  

Like the first two Chess Sets from the Timeless Collection, The Lasker 1890 Series Chessmen is a very LIMITED PRODUCTION - ONLY 25 OF THESE SETS WILL BE PRODUCED! The first two productions, the Congress Chessmen and the Anderssen Chessmen had both sold out before we were able to publicly  announced them! 

Don't Delay - 5 OF THESE SETS WERE PRE-SOLD BEFORE WE EVEN ANNOUNCED THEIR AVAILABILITY - This Chess set will sell out very quickly!

It also comes with gold embossed leather pads on both Kings, a personalized Certificate of Authenticity and an original manufacturer's label indicating the production number is affixed to the underside of each box. The chessmen are housed in a premium Red Burlwood box with brass quadrant hinges and a full mortise lock and key. The interior of the box is divided and lined in billiard cloth. The box may be upgraded to our brand new Carton Pierre Reproduction Casket (shown below) for an additional $129.95. 


The Carton Pierre Reproduction Casket - Perfectly fits a 4.4" Ebony Chess Set - Only $129.95 to Upgrade


Each set consists of 34 Chessmen, 17 light and 17 dark (including the two additional Queens.)

These Chessmen are PRESELLING and will SHIP ON NOVEMBER 25TH! ORDER NOW TO INSURE THAT YOUR LIMITED EDITION CHESSMEN WILL HAVE A LOW SET NUMBER FOR MAXIMUM COLLECT ABILITY!
