Product Description
AntiqueChessCrafts to offer- Andalusian Series Luxury Staunton Chessmen. The Chessmen feature a 4.5″ King with a 1.9″ Diameter base and are heavily weighted. The tournament-sized chess set is a stunning masterpiece with the attraction of mesmerizing unique art of hand craftsmanship. Throughout history, the Andalusian horse, strong and intelligent with an elegant gait and distinguished mane, has been traditionally sought by nobility and used for war horses. In a similar fashion, these hand-carved knight pieces crown the Bud Rosewood and Boxwood set and reflect the same exceptional elegance, strength, and flair of that Andalusian spirit.
The king boasts a silhouette inspired by the ancient architecture of the Mughals, with a rounded top supporting a decorative spire. Next to his 4.5-inch frame is a queen chosen for her elegant, Moor-inspired headdress. Their differing styles, expressive and graceful, complement each other perfectly in this superior set. The knight is one of the most detailed pieces with a long, firebrand mane and a flick of hair covering one eye.
Adding to the exceptional quality of the set is the solid Bud Rosewood from which it is fashioned and polished to preserve the beauty and longevity of each exquisite piece. A commanding height of 4 1/2 inches and a base of almost 2 inches make these impressive pieces well suited for tournament sized boards having a square size between 2 1/4″ to 2 5/8″.
