3 3/4" Mark of Westminster Classics Ebonized Executive French 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 set is hand-carved and weighted with felt bottoms, extra queens, and the signature Mark of Westminster Logo beneath the king. The French design is our most popular, with a classic, very playable look and feel.

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.

Made in India. Chess board not included. Deluxe humidor style storage box optional.

Okay, but

Good size, but I wish the weight were a little bit greater. The pieces feel a bit too light in the hand. I do not see any MoW logo on either of my kings. One of my pawns came without a felt bottom. On the whole, just an okay set for regular playing. Should be cheaper, in the $60-$70 range. However, customer service by phone was outstanding.
