Not antiques, and not sold as antiques: what you are buying is the shape, in fresh timber, as a full playable army.

These were designed to be played with, at a tournament that decided who would challenge for the world title. The 1962 Stockholm Interzonal is remembered for one thing above all: a nineteen year old Bobby Fischer finishing two and a half points clear of a field that included half the world's best players. This reproduction puts that set on your board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pieces are turned from ebonised boxwood and natural boxwood, with a 95mm king on a 41mm base. That base to height ratio is the detail worth noticing. It gives the king a planted, upright stance rather than the top heavy look that catches out taller sets, and it means the whole set sits comfortably on standard tournament squares.

At the lower end you get the silhouette without the proportions: a set that looks approximately right in a photograph but feels wrong in the hand, usually because the bases have been shrunk to save material. At the upper end you get ebony, bud rosewood and triple weighting, and a price to match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis set sits between them, and it does so by getting the geometry right rather than the materials expensive. The 41mm king base is generous for a 95mm king, which is what keeps the pieces stable without needing heavy weighting to compensate. The queen follows at 40mm, so the two tallest pieces read as a pair rather than a king and a slightly shorter rival.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat you give up is mass.

It is a copy of the equipment used at a documented event, which is a better story for anyone who ends up asking about the pieces on your table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"TWO_COLUMN_GRID-Zd7wPn4Gfs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-crafter-two-column-grid page_crafter_two_column_grid-Zd7wPn4Gfs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"page-crafter-h3 page_crafter_two_column_heading-Zd7wPn4Gfs page-crafter-element-bottom-spacing\"\u003eNatural boxwood or antique boxwood\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page_crafter_grid_plain_text-Zd7wPn4Gfs     page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dark pieces are the same in both options: boxwood dyed black, with the grain still readable under the finish rather than the flat black of ebony heartwood.

It gives you maximum contrast across the board and a set that looks new, which is what most players want if the pieces are going to be used.

The same ebonised dark pieces sit against natural boxwood, pale and even, so contrast across the board is higher and the set looks newer.

The two are easy to confuse by name and look quite different in person, so it is worth deciding which effect you are after before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSheesham gives a mid brown dark side with visible open grain against natural boxwood, so the two colours sit closer together and the whole board reads warmer.

The boxwood is dyed through to a deep red rather than to black or brown, so the board reads as red against cream instead of dark against pale. It weighs the same 1210 grams as the ebonised and sheesham options and shares every dimension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLacquered burnt boxwood is the least conventional of the browns. The dark pieces are boxwood darkened by controlled heat rather than by stain, then lacquered, which leaves a deep warm brown black with some grain still visible. Against natural boxwood it sits between the flat ebonised finishes and the openly grained sheesham, and it weighs the same 1210 grams as those two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"TWO_COLUMN_GRID-Cw6gTj5Mhl\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-crafter-two-column-grid page_crafter_two_column_grid-Cw6gTj5Mhl\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"page-crafter-h3 page_crafter_two_column_heading-Cw6gTj5Mhl page-crafter-element-bottom-spacing\"\u003eCompatible boards and square sizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page_crafter_grid_plain_text-Cw6gTj5Mhl     page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 94mm king on a 39mm base wants squares between 50mm and 60mm.

A 48mm base under a 115mm king is generous, and the set is weighted with lead to 2,000g across 34 pieces.

The design solved a practical problem: pieces that could be told apart instantly, turned in quantity, and stood up to being knocked. Rooks became solid castles, pawns were pared back, the king took a cross finial and the queen a coronet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1860 Anderssen is a later variation on that theme, and takes its name from Adolf Anderssen, who was widely regarded as the world's leading player through the 1850s. The drop jaw knight is the identifying feature. Where the original Jaques knights were comparatively restrained, the Anderssen carving opens the mouth and deepens the brow, which is a harder shape to cut and a more expressive one to look at.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"TWO_COLUMN_GRID-Ge4hLd1Vqn\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-crafter-two-column-grid page_crafter_two_column_grid-Ge4hLd1Vqn\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"page-crafter-h3 page_crafter_two_column_heading-Ge4hLd1Vqn page-crafter-element-bottom-spacing\"\u003eWeight and finish you notice in the hand\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page_crafter_grid_plain_text-Ge4hLd1Vqn     page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight is the first thing you notice. Lead is set through the bases, taking the full set to 2,000g, which averages around 59g a piece. The supplier notes a tolerance of roughly ten percent either way, which is normal for hand weighted pieces and worth expecting rather than being surprised by.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe light side is antiqued rather than left natural. A four step colour and rotational polishing process takes the boxwood to a darker, oxidised tone, closer to a century old set than a freshly turned one. The trade off is contrast: against the ebony this reads warmer and softer than a bright boxwood set would. The rooks and knights on the king's side also carry a stamped crown, which is a period detail and a genuinely useful one when you are setting up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page_crafter_grid_media_container-Ge4hLd1Vqn  page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Antiqued boxwood and ebony Staunton chess pieces with a 115mm king and 48mm base\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0945\/5507\/9024\/files\/antiquechessset.jpg?v=1787347616\u0026amp;width=1000\" class=\"page-crafter-image-base-class page_crafter_grid_media-Ge4hLd1Vqn\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"TEXT_BLOCK-Mz8kSb3Cty\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"page-crafter-h3 page_crafter_two_column_heading-Mz8kSb3Cty page-crafter-element-bottom-spacing\"\u003eChoosing a board for a 115mm king\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page_crafter_grid_plain_text-Mz8kSb3Cty     page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe number that decides your board is the 48mm king base, not the 115mm height.

A drop jaw carving is harder to cut than a standard Staunton knight and it is the detail that carries the whole pattern, backed here by a 48mm base and 2,000g of weighting that keep a tall king stable. The honest caveat is scale and contrast: 60mm squares are bigger than most boards people already own, and the antiqued light side is deliberately darker than natural boxwood, so the two sides separate less sharply than a bright set.

It needs 60mm squares, which is larger than most boards people own, and the antiqued light side deliberately lowers contrast against the ebony, so this reads as a collector set rather than a fast play one.

The craftsmen took as their reference the Jaques Marshall design of around 1900, a pattern already familiar to strong players and unmistakable across a hall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat they produced sits between the two traditions. The proportions are English, following the Marshall reference closely, but the execution is Caribbean: slightly heavier collars, a fractionally squarer rook, and a knight cut with a broader jaw than a London workshop would have given it. The reproduction keeps those departures rather than tidying them back toward the source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"TWO_COLUMN_GRID-Uh8wQx3Lkw\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-crafter-two-column-grid page_crafter_two_column_grid-Uh8wQx3Lkw\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"page-crafter-h3 page_crafter_two_column_heading-Uh8wQx3Lkw page-crafter-element-bottom-spacing\"\u003eAn officer rank that stays level\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page_crafter_grid_plain_text-Uh8wQx3Lkw     page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bishop reaches 75mm and the knight 72mm, only 3mm apart, and both sit on the same 37mm base as the rook.

A 106mm king on a narrow 40mm base, 1,346g across 34 pieces, and a silhouette built around height rather than mass.

The 1885 Pre Hartston head is a more articulated, more equine carving than anything modern, and once you have played with it a compact modern knight starts to look like a compromise, which historically is exactly what it is. Add genuine ebony at full tournament height, which is unusual at this level, and heavy lead weighting at 1,250g. Two caveats. The longer knight neck is structurally more delicate than a modern head, so this is not the set to leave where it will be knocked about. And no board is included, so budget for one at 55mm squares.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-expert-signature\"\u003e- Blake Sterling, CEO \u0026amp; Founder, Sterling Chess\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page_crafter_grid_media_container-Vh1uHx2Nlu  page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Knight carving on the reproduction 1865 Steinitz Staunton chess pieces\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0945\/5507\/9024\/files\/antiqued_1865-70_steinitz_pattern_chess_set_-_ebony_wood_-_king_side_stamping_16__2_1.jpg?v=1787435295\u0026amp;width=1000\" class=\"page-crafter-image-base-class page_crafter_grid_media-Vh1uHx2Nlu\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"SPACER-Yb2wOa9Rqr\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"height: 20px;\" class=\"page-crafter-block\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"HEADING-Vq6tRx1Doi\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"page-crafter-h2 page_crafter_heading-Vq6tRx1Doi\"\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"ACCORDIAN-By6tVq4Vbh\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page_crafter_accordian-By6tVq4Vbh page-crafter-accordian-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat size board do these need?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSquares of 55mm.

The reproduction details are properly done too, particularly the opposed-colour ball on the king and the two-faced knight carving.

The 48mm base is startlingly wide by modern eyes and it is a genuine period solution to stability from an era before lead weighting was universal. The deep bishop mitre and the two-faced knight carving are both fussy hand work that a modern factory pattern would not bother with. Two practical points. It needs 60mm squares, wider than a 100mm king would normally take, because that base fills everything smaller.

At 67mm against a 64mm knight it reverses an order you have been reading unconsciously for years, and it takes a few games before you stop double checking the corners. What you get for that is a back rank that squares up instead of tapering away, which I find more satisfying to look at. Add genuine ebony, an unusually sharp bishop mitre and 1,750g of weighting at only 96mm, and it punches well above its size in the hand. One caution: that angular mitre is more chip prone than a modern soft groove, so the bishops deserve care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-expert-signature\"\u003e- Blake Sterling, CEO \u0026amp; Founder, Sterling Chess\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page_crafter_grid_media_container-Np8uFb9Mch  page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Knight carving on the reproduction Richard Whitty antique chess pieces\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0945\/5507\/9024\/files\/17_d1143bcb-7192-415c-ba6e-3d7435f43a7b.jpg?v=1787442711\u0026amp;width=1000\" class=\"page-crafter-image-base-class page_crafter_grid_media-Np8uFb9Mch\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"SPACER-At8vXr8Jxu\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"height: 20px;\" class=\"page-crafter-block\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"HEADING-Il0zNk7Smx\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"page-crafter-h2 page_crafter_heading-Il0zNk7Smx\"\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"ACCORDIAN-Il0lDp3Ftk\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page_crafter_accordian-Il0lDp3Ftk page-crafter-accordian-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat size board do these need?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSquares of 50mm to 55mm.

It needs 60mm squares, a size most people do not own, so check first.

That is a faithfulness decision, not a saving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeighting became standard later, when clocks and faster time controls made stability matter. A set from a Victorian cigar divan was handled slowly, on cloth, in a room with no clock, and nobody in 1860 expected a rook to right itself when nudged. Reproducing it with modern weights would give a better playing set and a worse reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat that means in practice: at roughly 21g a piece in ebony and 19g in bud rosewood these are light, they slide rather than settle, and they will topple if the table is knocked.

Its pawns would be around 55mm; these are 61mm, taller than the rooks on several sets we sell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a board with almost no height hierarchy. Instead of a clear descending ladder you get a tall, dense forest where pieces are distinguished by their heads rather than their stature, and at a glance the royal pair reads as two nearly equal pieces separated only by the crown against the coronet.

What you get for that is a genuinely unusual object. A 100mm queen under a 107mm king and 61mm pawns produce a board with almost no height hierarchy, which looks nothing like a Staunton and takes some getting used to. On timber I would take the ebony for the sharper contrast and the closer period match, and the bud rosewood if you want the grain figure to be part of the appeal. Buy either if the Simpsons in the Strand connection appeals and you play slowly.

Golden dyed wood is a genuine rarity, the finish is even and warm, and the matched 42mm royal bases give the back rank real presence for a 102mm set. Double weighting at 1,450g is well judged too, heavy enough to feel solid without being tiring. Be clear eyed about the trade, though. Contrast between the two sides is the lowest of anything we sell, and that is not a flaw in the making, it is the point of the finish. If you play blitz or you play in low light, buy a conventional dark side instead and come back to this one when you want a set that looks like an object rather than equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-expert-signature\"\u003e- Blake Sterling, CEO \u0026amp; Founder, Sterling Chess\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page_crafter_grid_media_container-Qp4eAz2Bwa  page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Golden dyed William Hallett chess pieces, double weighted with felted bases\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0945\/5507\/9024\/files\/8_f6f21292-c393-4ed5-9b3f-a240a9191568.jpg?v=1787465192\u0026amp;width=1000\" class=\"page-crafter-image-base-class page_crafter_grid_media-Qp4eAz2Bwa\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"SPACER-Gd7mVj4Hdd\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"height: 20px;\" class=\"page-crafter-block\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"HEADING-Li7mYc4Clc\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"page-crafter-h2 page_crafter_heading-Li7mYc4Clc\"\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"ACCORDIAN-Mc0rRr9Usp\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page_crafter_accordian-Mc0rRr9Usp page-crafter-accordian-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat size board do these need?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSquares of 55mm.

The blocky Lardy head is a real piece of chess design history and it is the reason this pattern is still made seventy years on, not a random carving choice. At 76mm on 40mm to 45mm squares it is a compact set, properly weighted at 666g and hand finished rather than churned out. The honest limits are scale and detail: it is too small for a full sized table board and too small for club play, and the Lardy style is deliberately spare, so if you want a knight with visible mane work this is the wrong pattern by design.
