I think this is your best reproduction yet,, although the knight looks just a *touch* taller than it needs to be. A 2mm reduction in the height of the base cushion, maybe?

Looks absolutely spectacular!

The cross on the king - perhaps a bit too stylized? Is that correct?

I know you’ve touched on it briefly in prior posts, but what is your current thought on the stamp? I feel this is a critical decision point I’m unable to provide good input on

We’re thinking 1850 London

Hi Carl, You seem to have created a very collectible set in your own right. People can talk about reproductions all they want, but the set you are making here will be a collectible on its own.

Are you taking orders now? Thanks for your tireless effort to supply the highest quality chess pieces. wk
