Fierce Knight Staunton Chess Set in Ebonized Boxwood & Boxwood - 4" King Review




The perfect chess set for two good friends enjoying a fiercely competitive game of chess. The knights are hand carved with meticulous precision and with features such as the perked ears, eyes, and mane that gives this set its name. From the elegant profile carefully turned into each piece to the highly polished black ebony, the ebony polished to a rich sheen, you will be delighted with the superb craftsmanship of this premium chess set. We recommend a chess board with 2 1/4" to 2 3/8" squares. (*Does Not Include Chess Board).

The Calvert 1810 Antique Reproduction Chess Set & Board

The Calvert 1810 Antique Reproduction Chess Set & Board Review



This elaborate early 1800s English Playing Chess Set design, referred to in the literature as a Calvert Pattern,  is derived from earlier German designs from the 15th through the 19th centuries. It is often, but wrongly, attributed to John Calvert, a Master of the Worshipful Company of Turners, located at 189 Fleet Street, from around 1790 to 1840. He specialized in exquisitely turned Chess sets in ivory for the aristocracy and in ebony/boxwood for the many coffee shops and clubs where Chess was a popular pastime.

Chessmen of this type were actually manufactured throughout the early-to-mid Victorian period by John Jaques of London and Thomas Lund of Cornhill. The Calvert playing sets were ultimately supplanted by the Staunton pattern chessmen, which were introduced to the public in the fall of 1849 by the firm of John Jaques of London.

This reproduction is an exact copy, crafted from faux ivory, of an original Calvert Chess set. It dates from around 1810, at which time white and red colored ivory pieces were popular. The slender baluster stems and the unusual form of the King and Queen with their pierced floral crowns, makes an attractive and highly decorative design.

The King stands around 3-1/2" tall. The display Chess board box feature two drawers with individual compartments for piece storage.
