House of Staunton offers our newest, heirloom quality, Renegade
Series Staunton pattern chessmen. This full

of materials. The King stands 3-7/8"
tall with a 1-5/8"
diameter base. The
set of chessmen ships standard with four (4) Queens.
No more upside-down Rooks! The 32 chessmen weigh an impressive 54
ounces! These Chessmen are designed
to play on a chessboard with 2-1/4" or 2-3/8" squares.
These unusual
masterpieces are crafted to capture in design and proportion the
relative value of the individual chessmen, a unique feature found in
no other set of Staunton chessmen. No longer to you have to suffer
through sets with huge, hulking Knights and diminutive Rooks. This

and heavy pedestals. Notice the old-world feel and design of the
Bishop and the superb carving of the Knight.

of Staunton chess piece is superb. The chessmen are
cushioned in green billiard cloth. The quality of these chessmen can
be seen in the majestic Knights. They are simply unequaled in design
and craftsmanship. Nothing even comes close!
