The "King's Bridal" Staunton chess piece set is a true testament to meticulous craftsmanship, offering exceptional detail and beauty in every piece. Designed with both aesthetics and functionality in mind, this set is perfect for tournament play or as a refined addition to any chess collection.

Design and Craftsmanship

The "King's Bridal" set follows the Staunton design, with each piece showcasing fine craftsmanship. The knight is the standout piece, featuring intricate details that resemble a horse’s head, complete with reins—a design that brings the piece to life. The king boasts beautifully contoured features, carefully turned to create an elegant form, while the rook’s raised battlements add prominence to its design. These features contribute to the distinctive beauty of the set, making each piece a work of art.

Materials and Finish

Crafted from high-quality boxwood and acacia wood, the "King's Bridal" pieces are both durable and visually striking. The natural grain of the wood provides a warm, rich tone, especially when paired with chessboards made from mahogany or walnut, which complement the set’s colors perfectly. Each knight is hand-carved, while the other pieces are turned and meticulously hand-finished to highlight their elegant forms. The pieces are weighted and felted, ensuring smooth movement and protecting the chessboard surface.

Functionality

Designed for optimal handling, the pieces are weighted to provide stability during gameplay. The felted bases allow the pieces to glide smoothly across the board, making fast-paced moves effortless while preserving the chessboard’s surface. The careful balance between aesthetics and functionality ensures that these pieces not only look beautiful but also feel great in hand during competitive play.

Suitable for Tournaments

With a king height of 98 mm, the "King's Bridal" set adheres to FIDE specifications, making it suitable for official tournament use. The set also includes additional queens for both sides, enabling seamless pawn promotion without the need for replacement pieces, ensuring a smooth gameplay experience in high-level matches.

Optimal Pairing

To display the "King's Bridal" set in its full glory, pairing it with a chessboard featuring square sizes between 55 and 58 mm is recommended. The warm tones of a mahogany or walnut board will enhance the natural beauty of the boxwood and acacia pieces, creating a visually harmonious and elegant display.
