X2054 Ebony Alexander Chess Set
King Height 4.25 inch. Base Diameter 1.7 inch. Triple Weighted at 80g. Balance 18%. Case Included
Certificate of Authenticity included.
NEW! Another staunton work of art in pure grade one ebony, with a Knight that is outstanding, graceful, elegant and delightfully different. This set was designed for the chess olympiad in Turin and instead of the knight, a bull (which is the symbol of Turin) was used. Comes in a specially made luxury leather case included in the price with each piece having it's own home within. (The knight doesn't have a home, it has a stable.) But take care with your moves - the horse can get a little feisty if you compromise the position. Triple weighted, double queens, felted bases - a wonderful set and a bold departure from standard staunton. The set had us looking, admiring so much that we just couldn't display it any longer - needed to get some work done. The set is pure artwork in pure ebony. The chessmen were designed by some of the finest chessplayers from all over the world and now to make it available to chess lovers we have shifted from the bull to a knight keeping all the other pieces the same which makes this set a good combination of a playable set with a very artistic knight.

X2028 The Earl Anthony Chess Set Triple Weight in Bud Rosewood
King Height 4.4 inch. Base Diameter 1.85 inch. Triple Weighted 125g.
Certificate of Authenticity included.
Words fail us. But we'll try. The detail on the knight is so beautiful that it almost looks like it could breathe. The head is set slightly downwards in an unusual thought provoking pose as if considering the next best strategy. The lower lip of the knight is precise and clean. The mane style has a flourish. The muscles of the knight are defined such that the light catches different parts of the face and neck with different angles. The other pieces? Sleek, well defined. The rook has a generous torso and is well balanced. Nothing matches the excelling detail of this magnificent set. The photography is good but it's too difficult to catch the real beauty of the set with a two dimensional photo, or indeed, with these inadequate words. A set to pass on to the next generation. We recommend a board with 2 inch squares.

X2026 King John in Brass Chess Set
King Height 4 inch. Base Diameter 1.6 inch. Triple Weighted 172g!
Certificate of Authenticity included.
This brass set has a King that is 4 inch in height and weighs a hefty 172g. The pieces are luxurious and have strong attention to detail. The set is clearly differentiated for both sides (some metal sets can be a little confusing in colour difference for each side). Over time the pieces improve in appearance as the air causes colour amelioration, older sets are often prized for their colouring. The detail for the knight is outstanding for a set made in metal - often these sets have only a broad detail. For a Staunton metal chess set this is the finest set we have seen in all respects. Note: Single Queens

X2021 The Bronte in Rosewood King Triple Weight Chess Set
King Height 4 inch. Base Diameter 1.75 inch. Triple Weighted 92g.
Certificate of Authenticity included.
This is the Bud Rosewood version of the Bronte design shown. It is a luxury chess set that is both unusual and traditional. We can't decide which we prefer - the bud rosewood or the ebony version. The Ebony is a slightly more expensive wood, but the Rosewood highlights the curves better with it's golden color. It's available in both woods. The 'bust style' of the back of the necks base is the design style which we believe to be quite outstanding and formed the basis of our commission. We think the set belongs in a museum. Every piece is beautiful, but the knight is particularly appealing - the complete luxury chess set takes nearly three weeks to manufacture. The set comes with two queens. The king is 4 inch in height. The set is triple weighted. We recommend a board with 2 inch squares.

X2012 Chamfered Base Triple Weight Chess Set in Bud-Rosewood
Certificate of Authenticity included.
This chamfered base triple weighted luxury chess set is a beautifully carved traditional staunton flagship. The detail, weighting and balance of this luxury chess set is nothing short of remarkable. The knight has that trademark of excellence - gaps between the teeth betraying the excruciating exacting work in carving this piece. A single chess knight for this luxury chess set takes two days for one craftsman to produce from start to finish. The carvers of Amritsar in India are sought after for their skill, and here is the reason. The knight is finely carved with consistent detail and has a perfect weighting such that the feel of the piece in the hand is satisfying and feels sure and balanced as it moves (or more like - glides) from one square to another. The rook also has a beautiful feel due to it's full mid-section and weighting contributing more than it should towards the beauty and nature of this luxury chess set. The king stand 4 inches high. The wood is bud rosewood which is the most sought after part of the rosewood tree, right at the base. Bud-rosewood chess sets have a colour to them which exudes beauty and richness for luxury chess sets. The board for this set should have squares of minimum 1.75 inches to a preferred 2 inches. This luxury chess set would be flattered with a gloss, rather than rustic design of board.

It's available in bud rosewood or ebony. The style is Staunton. Here is an excellent example of luxury chess sets offered by Baron where innovation meets tradition. The knights have a solid staunton look but with accentuated muscles and a innovative neck.

This set belongs in the Tate Museum - not in your home. Every piece is beautiful, but the knight rightly steals the show, another piece that takes two days for one single knight - the complete luxury chess set takes nearly three weeks to manufacture. The king is 4 inch in height and the set comes with two queens. The set is triple weighted and has leather undersides. We recommend a board with 2 inch squares.

X2014 Supreme Staunton Chess Set in Bud Rosewood
Certificate of Authenticity included.
This luxury chess set is triple weighted and comes with extra Queens. The Ebony version is below. Ebony is often preferred, but the color of Bud Rosewood is lost with Ebony.

It's a leading example in luxury chess sets, the King is 4 inch in height and is magnificent in detail and carving. Note the detail of the knight. One excellent feature of good luxury chess sets is the detail in the teeth of the knight. But looking at the knight overall, notice the slight rustic nature of the set. The nostrils are carved individually - each piece in the luxury chess set is unique, but the staunton style is adhered to - it's a skillful tweak of innovation. The ruddy color of the set gives the look of an expensive chess set, but the rustic tweak gives the set a leading edge that cannot be matched in the US market. The board for this luxury chess set should have 2 inch squares, and would benfit from a hint of blackness to highlight the set's colouring.

The Kings finial is reminiscent of the pyramidal roof structures of the ancient temples of long ago. The queen is slender yet wears her crown well. The bishop has an open miter and the rook stands at the ready! But its the knight that grabs your attention. This is a horse ready for battle and each piece has a unique tilt to his ear. Double queens are included and felt bottoms keep your chess board protected. Double Queens too.

Beautiful chess sets for the next generation

Thankyou for spending some time in browsing these products. Did you note the amazing detail of these luxury chess sets? See their teeth? Did you have the inclination to get your toothbrush out? Then you know it's a good set! If you can actually see the gaps between the teeth - it marks the difference between a good quality chess set and those that are much lower quality. Of course, it's not just the teeth, the rest of the knight and the detail of the other pieces must match - but not many artisans will go to the detail of carving out each tooth without giving similar attention to the mane, the face and the detail belonging to other parts of the chess pieces in the set. This also leaves out the whole major reason to shop ChessBaron - the talented design of the piece, a chess set design that makes the difference between conventional chess stores and ChessBaron, where we also sell chess computers in the UK, chess computers in the US, and even chess computers in Canada. Back to sets, many of the designs available through this section cannot be found elsewhere - we pride ourselves in displaying a remarkable range of chess sets that is difficult to beat for beauty, tradition and innovation. Each set has a optional suggested chess case similar or the same as the one pictured along with the product descriptions.
