Genuine Ebony and Natural Boxwood

A tribute to one of America’s greatest chessplayers, Samuel Reshesvky, the Sammy-R is an exact reproduction of the Circa 1930s Jaques of London Staunton Pattern Chess Pieces that were used at many of the major international tournaments of the time, including the legendary A.V.R.O. 1938.

The House of Staunton is proud to offer the Sammy R Series Commemorative Chess Pieces. Part of the Camaratta Signature Series. they are a full club-sized Chess set that features a 4.4" King with a 1.9" diameter base. The Chess pieces are hand carved by our master artisans and crafted out of the highest grade Indian Rosewood and Boxwood. The Chess pieces are heavily weighted with a beautiful finish.

As with all of our Chess sets, the Sammy-R 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.

NOTE - The Sammy-R also feature the F. Camaratta USA stamping on the base of the Boxwood King
