A bit of history:
The Jaques Staunton chess sets, first introduced in 1849, revolutionized chess piece design with their elegant, standardized, and highly functional Staunton pattern. Named after chess master Howard Staunton, these sets were crafted by Jaques of London and quickly became the global standard for tournament play. Over time, various iterations and refinements emerged, including the rare Cooke Type 2 variation. Today, these historical sets are highly sought after, with reproductions preserving their timeless craftsmanship and legacy.
The 1849 Cooke Type 2 Jaques chess set has been meticulously reproduced in luxurious ebony wood and vintage antique boxwood, also available in a distressed antique finish by Indian Chess Co. Weighing 1100 grams, these chessmen showcase exceptional craftsmanship, capturing the elegance and historical charm of the original design.
This Cooke Type 2 design has never been reproduced before, making it a rare and exclusive addition for collectors. Its authenticity and historical accuracy set a new benchmark in Staunton chess set reproductions.
