House of Staunton Chess Calvert Chess Pieces Complete Set

Description

Set features a 3” King is a highly detailed and accurate reproduction of the Circa 1810 English Playing Chess Set design referred to as the Calvert Pattern. It is often, but wrongly, attributed to John Calvert, a Master of the Worshipful Company of Turners, located at 189 Fleet Street, from around 1790 to 1840. He specialized in exquisitely turned Chess sets for the aristocracy and in ebony/boxwood for the many coffee shops and clubs where Chess was a popular pastime.
