Official Staunton's Steinitz Antiqued Chessmen SlideShow Presentation

Today I received another fabulous set from The Official Staunton Chess Company, their Steinitz Antiqued Chessman. A beautiful set indeed. Kudos to Carl Meceli.  Kings measure 3 7/8" in height with a diameter base of just over 1 5/8".  The finely turned pieces and exquisite hand carved Knights are a pleasure to handle. The antiqued finish is gorgeous and evenly applied to the pieces. The ebonised pieces look great and could pass for ebony. The well proportioned pieces have a vintage Jaques look and my guess were  patterned after a circa 1850s-60s Jaques set. I am extemely happy with this set and would recommend it for tournament play as well as a nice addition to any chess set collection.

Just a fantastic set.  Enjoy it Mike.

Thanks MIke, your wonderful review helped me decide to buy this beauty.

Thanks for the review. I especially like the wide, flat bases on the bishops.

Your welcome Chuck, yeah, those bishops are really special 

this is my favourite reproduction, very beautiful

Indeed, its a beautiful set! Thanks

Here's some pics of the Steinitz set on my walnut and maple chess tabe with 2 1/4" squares

That's one heckuva nice set, Mike. Does it have kingside stamping?

Thanks Chuck, no but that would really make this set pop! Good idea!

Are you serious?

Wow, That is at a give-a-way price. Super Deal!!!!!!

...und das heißt, was? 

Soll man deshalb glücklich sein, oder nicht? Fünfzig Prozent klingt gut, glaube ich. Vielleicht gibt es was Geschichte die ich nicht kenne?

Anyway, that is a lovely set of pieces, goodnightmike. I don't know if it's your photography skills or what, but the antique finish looks great on those. What a nice set.
