Deluxe Chess Sets is proud to offer the Margate 1923 Series Chess set. A full tournament-sized Chess set, it features a 4.0" King with a 1.67"diameter base. The Chess pieces are hand carved by our master artisans and crafted out of the highest grade woods. The Chess pieces are heavily weighted with luxurious billiard cloth base pads and a beautiful finish. The design of the Margate 1923 Chess set is an exact reproduction of the Sutton Coldfield Staunton Chessmen that were very popular in England during the 1920s.

The most striking aspect of the Margate 1923 Series Chess set is the fact that the Chessmen include 2 distinctive sets of Knights! The actual Knights from the Sutton Coldfield Chessmen were a stylized representation of a Horse head's and are quite different from what Chess players have come to expect from a Staunton Pattern Chess set. In an effort to satisfy all Chess Collectors, those that demand historical accuracy and those that demand traditional Staunton styling, The House of Staunton has decided to include BOTH styles of Knights with these Chessmen. Each set comes with 8 Knights in total, 4 (2 Black / 2 White) Knights of the Sutton Coldfield Pattern and 4 Traditional Staunton Knights from the 1920s.

As with all of our Chess sets, the Championship Series Chessmen exemplifies a perfect combination of distinct beauty and functionality. It has been designed to withstand the rigors of practical play while maintaining an elegance. The design, quality and craftsmanship of this set is UNMATCHED by any set of Chessmen in its price range. Nothing even comes close!

The Chessmen are new and each set consists of 38 Chessmen, including four Queens.

The Margate 1923 Series Chess Set - 4.0 inch King is available in the following woods:

Natural Boxwood and Golden Rosewood
WOOD DESCRIPTION: Golden Rosewood is the ideal choice for those looking for a Wooden Chess set that is durable yet affordable, one that will provide many years of use at a price that anyone can afford. Golden Rosewood is characterized by its attractive yet unique color, which can be best described as orangish-brown with aggressive grain patterns.

Ebonized Boxwood
WOOD DESCRIPTION: Also known as faux Ebony, Ebonized Boxwood is created when Boxwood is treated with a specialized stain to create the look of Ebony. When done properly, it can be difficult to distinguish between an ebonized and ebony piece when brand new. It is perfect for those who want the classical look of a Genuine Ebony Chess set at an affordable price.

Natural Boxwood and Rosewood
WOOD DESCRIPTION: With its dark brown color and aggressive grain patterns, Rosewood is the perfect choice for those that truly appreciate the natural beauty of wood. While most Chess sets are made from woods that have uniform coloring and minimal grain, Rosewood stands in stark contrast with its striking color variations and aggressive grain.

The Boxwood Chessmen are shown in image above.
