Elegant take on the classic Staunton design. Imperious 4.5 inch King. Two additional Queens. Beautifully ornate. Perfect for a 21.7 inch board. Handcrafted from solid wood and weighted for perfect balance, these Empire Knight chessmen have the look and feel of pure luxury. The king stands at 4.5 inches and whilst quite simple in design, the sleek shank, wide base and decorative finial make up an imposing leader. The bishop and rook too are elegantly simplistic but it is the knights that steal the show in this set. Exquisite and intricate detail in not only the mane but the bone structure and facial features make this chess piece more of an ornament. If you need a board for these beautiful pieces, we have matched it with a 21 inch Palisander board to create The Empire Knight Ebony Palisander Chess Set
