    Beautiful set

    The is one set where the Knight is not really the star attraction;

    The Knight are very simple with minimal detail, which is important for historical correctness for those wanting the pieces to be close to the real 1914 version!

    So, what is the star of this set; IT IS EVERY SINGLE PIECE!

    The king with his gentle indentation on the crown and no cross. The queen with more extended crown and well done crenelations, so precise!

    The Bishop with a more balloon lire mitre and its cut sloping more to one side!

    The rooks with thicker parapets, and merlons(upward extended walls) so well cut! Their stem is more slight in build than the traditional -- wide stem of most rooks! This is no way takes away from the stability-- as the BASE is wide by design, 1.43 in base width!

    The pawns are tall(2.3to 2.4 inches EACH MEASURED digitally, gentile thinly sloping collars,no short minimized piece here!

    The real star is the DESIGN! if you look at the pieces you will notice ALL have a slender stem that broadens out at the bottom with REAL PURPOSE-- the stability ---of ALL the pieces is a pleasure as you move them! I thought the set might be a little light as the description says -40.6 ounces.

    When I digitally weighed and reweighed the set-- it was a total of 45.82 ounces - on 2 different scales!!

    This was such a pleasant surprise!!!

    The thin neck leading to down to the broad base ( look how LOW the base starts, then broadens out-- these are SO WELL balanced and stabile!

    EVERY PIECE is this way! The…

    St Petersburg Series - Beautifully Pieces and Great Service

    This was my first order from the House of Staunton and I am very impressed. The pieces are beautiful and the service exemplary.

    From the moment I enquired about the St Petersburg pieces online, the HoS team provided prompt responses. Ordering was simple and the delivery was easy to track via FedEx.

    Upon receipt (which was on time) , the packaging was first class and the pieces were as advertised - actually better - the design and finish exceeded my expeditions*. I ordered the Anjan wood version and I am glad that I did, the grain adds character to the pieces. The finish is clean and sharp and they are well balanced and wonderfully playable. Thank you HoS, I am happy that I have added this set to my collection.

    * One knight had a small wood fault/crack in the neck but the HoS promptly apologised and organised an immediate replacement, no hassle and no cost. Great after sales service too. Five stars all around.
