The earliest Staunton chess sets, known as the "Cooke" design, were masterfully crafted with intricate details and a flawless finish. This reproduction of the JJ Cooke Chessmen features a 3.5-inch king, handcrafted from premium boxwood by an esteemed chess workshop known for producing some of the world’s finest chess pieces.

The rich, dark tones of the black pieces are achieved through an expert ebonisation process, providing the luxurious look and feel of ebony without the high cost. This makes the set both exquisite and affordable, appealing to collectors and players alike.

Made by the esteemed family-run company Manopoulos of Greece, this case is expertly constructed with a spacious compartment, brass-colored hinges, and the signature Manopoulos brass clasps, ensuring a secure and elegant storage solution.

To complete this exceptional set, we have included a classic chess clock in a sleek black finish. Made in Europe, this traditional-style clock features a high-quality wind-up mechanism, eliminating the need for batteries. It is an excellent choice for beginners and schools.
