that was popular in the late 19th century. The pieces,<br />

A luxury wooden set hand carved to the highest<br />

standards. Note the intricate design of the King’s crown<br />

and the exquisite Knight’s head and mane. The carving of<br />

all the major pieces is astonishingly detailed, for example<br />

the Bishop’s mitre is deep set and the Queen’s coronet<br />

finely carved to produce an angular effect. £ 299<br />

A truly majestic set. The Knight has a unique design<br />

with downward sloping head, weaved mane, flared<br />

nostrils and icy stare make it the most spectacular<br />

chess piece in the English <strong>Chess</strong> Company collection.<br />

The other pieces are also beautifully sculpted with<br />

distinctive bands below the summit. £ 299<br />

ANTIQUED WARRIOR CHESSMEN<br />

The term "Antiqued" describes the process applied to the<br />

boxwood pieces resulting in the appearance of an aged<br />

set, preferred by many collectors and serious chess players<br />

alike. There is something about the patina of the set that<br />

is most appealing to the eye. The dark pieces are<br />

constructed using only the finest jet black Ebony. £ 399<br />
