The Leather Casket Collectors Staunton Chess Set by Jaques London.

We are extremely proud to introduce this 4.4in 1850 Leather Casket Chess set.

A very Limited Chess set production of just 100 chess sets.

Surely the finest collectors chess set ever made.

Every Chess Piece in the leather casket collectors chess set uses John Jaques' original design from 1850.

The set is handcarved from Boxwood and jet black Ebony. Each and every piece is perfectly weighted and soft beautiful English leather is hand fitted to every piece. The white King is marked “Jaques London” and the King’s Rook and King’s Knight bear the mark of a crown on their summits.

Each and every chess piece is striking, combining both strength, durability and grace. The graceful angular Bishop’s head piece with its distinctive over-open cut, to the exquisite hand-crafted two-piece Knight taken straight from those magnificent horses of the Parthenon, this Jaques finest chess set to date.

Even the King’s cross finial is detailed and can be easily removed and replaced if damaged.  The  collectors chess set is housed in a fine English-made leather casket. The casket has beautiful fitted trays which are all hand trimmed in suede. The Chess casket is also han fitted with a miniature brass lock and key.

The Chess casket is beautifully lined and carries a replica of the Jaques and Howard  Staunton label that was signed by Howard Staunton himself and is signed by the current Company Directors.

Each chess set and casket is heirloom quality and also comes as standard with four Queens. 

After purchase be sure to send back the return section of the registration certificate to the Jaques global headquarters in the UK. This is so that your name can be added  to the Jaques Staunton Chess Set History Archives.  Do not miss out on your chance to own a piece of world chess history.
