Masters Traditional Games

(50060 / 50020)

The inventor of the now de-facto standard Staunton design of Chess pieces in 1847, Jaques of London, continued to enhance the design and the set produced during the 1890's set the standard for chess sets ever since. The 1890's production was widely used in Chess tournaments at the time and the modern Jaques equivalent continues to be used in the majority of todays tournaments. Truly, this is a historic pattern. Jaques commemorate that fact by producing a high quality replica of this groundbreaking set in 2 sizes (3.5 & 4 inch King - 90 & 100mm- 50060, 50020). A limited edition of 500 sets of each size have been produced.

Hand made using the original 1890 Jaques pattern, this set is even more finely detailed than the current standard Tournament set. The Ebony and Boxwood pieces are supplied in a superb baize-lined, polished mahogany cabinet with lock, each fitted with numbered signed original Staunton certificate of authenticity. A wonderful set for connoisseurs the world over.

Inlaid Chess Boards

Jaques also produce an exquisite 23 inch chess board. Hand-made in solid Mahogany, Walnut and Sycamore. Squares are 63mm and is recommended for use with the 4 inch King sets. In general, we recommend the 20 inch board for 3.5 inch sets.

Pictured is the 23 inch board with a rather splendid 4.5 inch limited edition set [apologies for the incorrect King/Queen positions - the photographer made a mistake!].
