Strategos Staunton Chess Set Padauk and Boxwood Pieces with Padauk and Bird's-Eye Maple Molded-Edge Chessboard - This one of a kind chess set includes our Strategos Staunton in padauk and boxwood matched with our Padauk and Bird's-Eye Maple Molded-Edge Chessboard. This exotic Staunton chess set is named after Hannibal's famous war horse that he rode across the Alps leading his army against the Roman Empire. This chess set is nothing short of extraordinaire taking Staunton to a new level with its artistic design. The knight with its down-turned head that curves to one side and mane flailing out behind its neck creates the image of horse racing into battle. Very few carvers in the world can accurately carve and replicate these complex knights. All of the pieces are beautifully shaped with a unique and elegant profile featuring a series of complex curves down the column. The lathe work is simply extraordinary. This is a large set with a king that is 4.25 inch tall and has a base of 1.875 inch. The king features a highly ornate finial that is unique from any other chess set in our collection. The pieces have thick green baize pads so you can slide your pieces across the board or sit down softly. We include an extra queen for each color for pawn promotion and a certificate of authenticity so you will always know what the chess set name is, the type of wood, the year it was made, and where it came from.
