Blood Rosewood and Natural Boxwood
The House of Staunton is proud to offer another masterpiece - The Cooke Series Staunton pattern Chessmen. It is exact reproduction of the Jaques of London Chessmen Circa 1849 Cooke Staunton Pattern Chessmen. These Chessmen feature a 3 5/8" King with a 1.75" Diameter base and are very heavily weighted. This is an accurate reproduction of the original Boxwood and Ebony Staunton chessmen. There is some controversy as to who actually designed these revolutionary chessmen, Nathaniel Cooke, John Jaques or Howard Staunton. What is known is that, on 1st March, 1849, Nathaniel Cooke, 198, Strand, London, registered an Ornamental Design for a set of Chess-Men, under the Ornamental Designs Act of 1842.. The sole manufacturer was the London firm of John Jaques and bore the name of the most prominent player of that time, Howard Staunton.
As with all of our Chess sets, the Cooke Series exemplifies a perfect combination of distinct beauty and functionality. It has been designed to withstand the rigors of practical play while maintaining an elegance which has become the hallmark of a House of Staunton chess set. The design, quality and craftsmanship of this set is UNMATCHED by any set of Chessmen in its price range. Nothing even comes close!
The Chessmen are new and each set consists of 34 Chessmen, including four Queens, a standard that was introduced by The House of Staunton in 1993.
The Chess Set comes with a personalized Certificate of Authenticity and an original manufacturer's plaque indicating the production number, with an adhesive backing that would allow it to be affixed to the underside of a Chess box.
