3.9-Inch Lessing Staunton Chess Set…3.9-Inch Lessing Staunton Chess Set Combo – Ebony Wood Pieces with Chessboard & Storage Box

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.
