Want a Staunton with a little extra detail? These BCC Staunton Double Collared chess pieces reproduce a set credited to the British Chess Company, with two turned collar rings on the main pieces.
The pieces are triple weighted, with thick green felt on every base. With a 106mm king, this set suits a board with 60mm squares. Each set is handmade in India.
The dark pieces are genuine ebony and the light pieces are boxwood. Two spare queens are included, but no board or box. See more historical sets in our reproduction chess pieces collection.
The British Chess Company was an English maker founded in the 1890s. It's said to have been one of the main rivals to Jaques of London, and original BCC sets are now rare.
This reproduction is a Staunton with a twist. The main pieces have a double collar, two turned rings below the head instead of one, which gives the set a richer, more detailed look.
The rest of the design is classic Staunton, with a sturdy rook, a well carved knight and broad bases that keep the pieces steady. It's a set that looks just as good on display as it does in a long game.
The knights are carved by hand, so each one has its own small differences, while the turned pieces match closely across the set. Two spare queens are included, so you're always ready for pawn promotion.
Genuine ebony is a dense, naturally black timber. Because the colour runs right through the wood, it won't wear through to a lighter shade over time.
The light pieces are boxwood, a pale, fine-grained timber that gives a crisp contrast against the ebony. Both sides are polished to a rich shine.
The pieces are triple weighted, and the full set comes to about 1,710g, so they sit firmly on the board and feel solid in the hand.
If you like English Staunton history, compare it with our B and Co 1860s ebony pieces, an earlier Victorian design.
"The double collars give this ebony Staunton a lovely bit of extra detail. It's a large set, so you'll need a board with 60mm squares to do it justice. For a player who wants a heavy, classic English set with a twist, it's a great choice."
- Blake Sterling, CEO & Founder, Sterling Chess
A board with 60mm squares is the best match. Our Dark Brown Indian Rosewood & Maple 58cm board and Ebony & Maple Sheesham Border 58cm board both have 60mm squares, or browse the full chess boards collection.
