Our Wellington Series Chess Set was inspired by the Duke of Wellington, the British general who defeated Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo. The Wellington blends contemporary and traditional Staunton design resulting in one of our most elegant sets. The knight is beautifully designed with attractive features that are meticulously hand carved including a flying mane, eyes, nostrils, mouth, and teeth. The king is 4.25"-tall and features an ornate finial that is unique from any other chess set in our collection. The lathe work is extraordinary with compound collars and eloquent lines turned into the base. Even the rook stands out as an extraordinary piece with its' unique parapet and crenellations. The pawns are extra-large making them easy to handle during the game. Pieces are heavily weighted and have green baize pads for a soft and cushioned feel on the chess board. The ebony is polished to a beautiful luster as is the light amber color boxwood.
