3.5" Bud Rosewood Chess pieces set The William Hallett 1860 London Chessmen

Description: CHESSNCRAFTS-1860 THE WILLIAM HALLETT LONDON CHESS PIECES SET- NATURAL RED WOOD(PADAUK/BUD ROSEWOOD) & BOXWOOD Description This set – the ‘William Hallett’ 1 is based on a specific antique set,circa 1840, in Jon Crumiller’s collection.This reproduction set is an ‘authentic’ recreation made possible by the generosity of Jon Crumiller, who kindly shared photos and dimensionsof the chess pieces of his splendid Hallett set.The Hallett design is an aesthetic delight but original antique sets are very rare and available reproduction sets have so far lacked accuracy and elegance.The woodcarvers of Staunton Castle have achieved a high degree of authenticity in crafting this exceptional chess set which is faithful to the original.The woods used are the finest;high quality boxwood and genuine (not overpainted but natural) and there are a choice of finishes –natural, antique, & distressed antique.We have taken the liberty of weighting the pieces (originals were unweighted), which improves stability and ergonomics in play. The pieces have felt base pads.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Not much is known about William Hallett of High Holborn,and though he did register a pattern for a chess set in the mid 1800’s,it did not resemble this famous design which is nonetheless named after him.Features and further details -Chess Pieces Details -Height BaseKing - 3.5" (90 mm) 1.5" (38 mm)Queen - 3.25" (82 mm) 1.375" (35 mm)Bishop - 2.25" (57 mm) 1.125" (28 mm)Knight - 2.125" (54 mm) 1.125" (28 mm)Rook - 2" (51 mm) 1.125" (28 mm)Pawn - 1.75" (44 mm). 1" (25 mm)Approximate Weight of Chess Set - 950 grams (33.5 oz)Dark Pieces : Bud Rosewood(padauk)Light Pieces BoxwoodRecommended Board Size (2") / (51 mm) square sizeAbout Us We have been manufacturing and exporting superior quality chess sets for last 3-4 decades.
