Since everyone here is already going for Staunton knights, I'll post some non-Staunton ones. Playability aside, but from a merely artistic point of view these are my 10 favorites (without any particular order):
1. Thomas Lund, ca. 1820
2. Dorothy Calvert, ca. 1830
3. Charles Hastilow, ca. 1850
4. Jaques Northern Upright, ca. 1850
5. Probably also Hastilow
6. Calvert, ca. 1820
7. Early 19th century, probably French
8. Eastern European (probably Austro-Hungarian or Russian), late 19th century
9. Dutch playing set, ca. 1780 (my personal all time favorite!)
and something unusual to end with...
10. Philippine Moro chess set, 20th century

Excellent post!! This is what Chess Books & Equipment is all about!
@MGT88 - Thanks. The only thing I do not understand is why some of my pictures are turned sideways.
Hope @MGT88 continues this theme- LETS GO THROUGH ALL THE PIECES!!!
after a lot more Knights though.
Yep!

I just had a look through your website and it was like discovering a treasure trove of chess equipment I didn’t know was available! I also see that you work with Ken Woodhead for boards (whom I assume is the same Ken Woodhead who produced a number of high-end boards for Frank Camaratta!); very interesting!
Great stuff to drool over!Makes me want to crack open my old Piggy Bank

I forgot to mention the knight from the 1885 Leipzig "Augustea" set, which I am currently reproducing in a limited edition. We put a lot of effort into that one. 
Pretty much proof that many of you might be art collectors,without really knowing it.

Absolutely; I was looking into my home insurance policy to see if my chess stuff would be covered and, long story short, the only property category it really fits in is "fine art".
1940's Soviet /Russian Championship set's Knight in Ebony and White gloss lacquer from CB.
Chuck Grau's great work on his set. The knight piece, same 1940's Soviet Championship club set.
Yes.
I'm super partial to these "Baku" knights.
There's quite a bit of variation from knight to knight (i like the black one better in this instance), but I absolutely love every aspect of their design.
Here is a novel twist on the knight theme for all you market players and watchers out there, from The Chess Piece, the World Financial Markets set (in ebony of blood rosewood), where the knights are transformed into market-moving Bulls and Bears. Nicely done, beautiful craftsmanship. Scaled for a 2.5" chess board.
Everything above the pedestal is carved from a single piece of wood!
I never had the pleasure of really looking closely at this set from the chess piece website but now that you have provided closeup images of the "Knights" being natural wild animal enemies, it is truly a perfect matching.
it is quite the astonishing craftsmanship and attention to detail in the carving to have great appreciation for the talent that created these pieces.
It does make the most logical and perfect sense for choosing this pair of beasts for both the light and dark armies who are waging war on the chessboard. A typical Wall Street Battle!
Bull vs Bear markets. Nice pictures Lou!
these all look sensational.....also....Take a look at The Old Vienna Coffee House Knights,from Staunton Castle.....That set has taken first place on my "must have list".
Post a picture or a link for the uninitiated
