A chess set of imperial qualities! The Collector chess set in Red Sandalwood leaves nothing to be desired with its top-grade quality, well-proportioned and heavily weighted pieces. The set follows the traditional Staunton design and you can find beautiful elements of creativity. Take the bishop for example, which comes with a wide and deep mitre which ends in a concave form. Quality can also be felt in the rook: Sliding it over the board is a real pleasure thanks to its very heavy weight. Finally, the knight. Clearly prepared for the battle, the knight displays a shortly trimmed mane and with its fiery look its ready to break through the enemy lines. Further attention should be paid to its muzzle which is slightly open and the front teeth have been carefully crafted individually. Also the nostrils are modelled down to fine details and the entire knight resembles a real horse. Now to the metrics of this wonderful set: The king measures 4.4" (110mm) in height and with this size comes an impressive weight of 114g for the white king and 127g for black. To give an other example, the rooks weigh an astounding 93g for the rosewood pieces! Thanks to their triple-weightings the pieces also exhibit a perfect balance with the majority of the weight concentrated near the bottom. It's virtually impossible to accidentally knock them down. All pieces are equipped with a green felt on their underside to protect your valuable board. Of course double queens come as a standard for a set in this class. Regardless of whether you are a collector of the most exquisite chess sets around or you enjoy playing with only the utmost best quality you can find, those pieces play in a league of their own. Delicately crafted by hand using exquisite woods, polished to a high sheen and perfectly balanced, there is nothing you can wish more in a chess set. You will love this set!
