The 1849 Original Staunton Chess Set Combo is a recreation of the gold-standard Staunton face in an entire, museum-worthy set: 4.5-inch men in Ebony and Distressed Antiqued Boxwood (lacquered), an identical Ebony/Maple board with Golden Rosewood borders, and a protective leatherette coffer.

Detailed Description 1849 Original Staunton Chess Set Combo

These men are a faithful reprint of the 1849 model—turned and carved in crisp knight features, harmonious bases and club size proportions that feel like on 60 mm squares. Dark pieces are Genuine Ebony; light pieces are Distressed Antiqued Boxwood finished to give a graceful vintage look. The companion board (23″ x 23″) is made of Ebony and Maple with the Golden Rosewood borders to make it look classy. Between sessions, the set is stored and locked in a leatherette coffer lined with felt and secured with a keyed lock. As a display, the ensemble feels like an antique chess set in spirit—historical silhouette, aged light army, and period-correct woods.

For enthusiasts of antique chess, the distressed antiqued boxwood captures an heirloom look without sacrificing daily playability. If you’re comparing vintage chess sets, this 1849 reproduction remains a reference point for Staunton collectors.
