These British ebonised chessmen are expertly carved in the easily recognisable Staunton design and yet still offer superb quality and value for money.

From the tip of the king's finial through to the mitre of the bishop down to the crenellations of the rook, this quality of finish and attention to detail is far beyond what you expect from such a modestly priced set.

Each ornament starts life as a solid piece of boxwood, which is then expertly turned, carved and finished. One half of the pieces undergo ’ebonisation’ - a very convincing process that gives them the look of real ebony, without the price tag, and all pieces undergo weighting and felting on their bases. With a king height of 8.9cm, it makes them ideal for chessboards from 50cm.
