3 1/2" Mark of Westminster Cardinal Rosewood Hoplites Staunton Chess Pieces

Mark of Westminster Chess Pieces are the paradigm of perfection in wood staunton chess piece design. The premier chess pieces by Mark Of Westminster have been known for their heirloom quality. Each chess set is exclusive, with a printed certificate of authenticity that serves as a lifetime warranty for natural defect. Each chess piece is hand-carved, has felt bottoms, extra queens, and the signature Mark of Westminster Logo beneath the king.

These chess pieces are Cardinal Rosewood and Boxwood, which can suit virtually any board color, however Mahogany, Macassar, and Walnut chess boards are most popular.

Cardinal Rosewood Chess Pieces vary from medium to dark brown, and is preferred due to is handsome, elegant appearance and strong grain variation. As a midrange wood, it is more affordable than some of the more exotic rosewoods, but still has a suitably rich appearance.

Boxwood Chess Pieces are the near universal standard for 'white' chess pieces in hand-carved sets. It is a fairly easy wood to work with, and shows off good detail.

Chessboard Not Included. Deluxe humidor style storage box optional.

The dark pieces did not reveal the wood grain as well as expected since the stain was quite dark but this helped for contrast with the white pieces. The white pieces had slight observable grain. The shape of each hand carved piece is the best in my opinion and makes for a great collector’s item. This set was of proper proportions to the “19" Mahogany & Sycamore Chess Board with 2" Squares & Notation”. The combination makes for a great display. I was looking for the light squares of the board to be a shade darker and the dark chess pieces to be a bit lighter with more grain showing but the existing colors and shades look great together.
