Chess made of precious woods and mammoth tusks "Staunton Bohemia"

The history of chess knows many forms, but it is the Staunton style that has become the standard by which the classics are recognized all over the world. It appeared in the middle of the 19th century in England, being named after Howard Staunton, an outstanding master and popularizer of the game. The harmonious proportions of the figures, convenience for tournament practice and strict elegance have made this design the official standard of international competitions.

The "Staunton Bohemia" set remains faithful to tradition, but at the same time carries the breath of European art. The name "Bohemia" refers to the region of Central Europe, where handicrafts, handicrafts and fine woodcarving have flourished since ancient times. It is precisely this legacy that is felt in these figures — an exquisite simplicity in which a strict form is juxtaposed with refined decorativeness.

The body of the board is made of African merbau wood, and the dark and light cells are made of wenge and Karelian birch. The pommels of the dark king and queen are made of mammoth tusks, valuable materials with a thousand-year history, and African ebony is used on the light pieces. The pieces are comfortable to play and pleasant to hold, they create that special atmosphere of a chess game when classical rigor is combined with European elegance.

For safety and ease of transportation, the set is complemented by a sturdy and stylish case, turning the Staunton Bohemia not only into a game value, but also into a worthy gift for a collector or a true connoisseur of chess classics.
