Description

The Lessing pattern, produced from 1927 to 1937, was the last officially recognized variant of the classic Staunton design, and this set is a faithful reproduction of it. Its sturdy, rounded forms have no sharp edges or fragile carving, so the pieces are a pleasure to handle in long games, while the natural grain of genuine ebony gives collectors something to admire up close. Paired with an ebony and maple board and a felt-lined box, it is a complete set for players, history-minded collectors and gift-givers alike.

What's Included

  • 34 weighted Lessing Staunton chess pieces in ebony and boxwood
  • 21 in x 21 in (53 cm x 53 cm) ebony and maple chessboard
  • Book-style leatherette storage box

Chess Pieces

As with the originals, the pieces are traditionally weighted with lead in the base. The dark army is made from untreated, undyed genuine ebony, and the knights are carved by skilled artisans.

Chessboard

The ebony and maple board matches the pieces' contrast and is finished in gloss.

  • Recommended king base: 40 mm to 50 mm
  • Total weight: 8.4 lb (3,800 g); final weight may vary by up to 10% due to natural differences in wood density

Storage Box

The book-style box is fully lined with soft green felt to cushion and protect the chessmen.

  • Material: leatherette
  • Recommended king height: up to 4.2 in (106 mm)
