5" Mark of Westminster Ebonized Imperator 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 lifetime warranty for natural defect. Each chess piece is hand-carved, has felted-bottoms and extra queens. 
 

The Imperator design has a very classic chess piece style with the right amount of ornate detail. These chess pieces are Ebonized and Boxwood, which can suit virtually any board color, however Walnut, Teak, and Ebonized chess boards are most popular. Ebonized Chess Pieces are actually Boxwood pieces lacquered black, giving them a pure black appearance almost identical to ebony, but for a fraction of the cost. 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.

Pieces made in India. Chess board not included.

Most Beautiful Chess Set On The Market.

This is the most beautiful chess set on the market. This is the exact same set as the House of Staunton's and USCF's Wild Knight Series chess pieces with the 4.4" king. The extra .6 inches make a world of difference. There is no chess set whose beauty comes near this. I once had both the 4" Wild Knight Series delivered with the MoW 5" Imperator set and had to return the former in favor of the much larger replica. I just had to purchase two of these sets.
