Jaques 4" Original 1850 Staunton Chess Set.
Limited Edition of 500 sets only. A standard 4? club version of the larger 4.4? set.
The 4? set was normally used for interclub matches - the 4.4? set was used for special occasions and high end competition play. Practice games within the club would normally use 3 1/2? sets, but even these were crafted to a high standard.
The craftsmanship of this 4? set matches that of the larger set and exhibits the same exquisite design as the larger set. Each piece is fitted with handmade English leather cushions with beautiful gold blocked Jaques branding.
The set is stored in a slightly smaller version of the 4.4? sets solid mahogany case but with this set the case is lined with the finest English woollen baize. As with the larger 4.4? set this reintroduction will allow you to relive a piece of chess history every time you remove it from the beautiful cabinet.
Each set has a numbered replica of the original ?Jaques Staunton Chess? Label signed by the current company Directors. Be sure to send back the return part of the registration certificate so that your name can be added to the Jaques Staunton Chess History Archives.
This set comes complete with a beautiful handmade inlaid wooden chess board, specially made for this set.
