A bit of history:

The Golden Craftsman chess set, manufactured by the Indian Chess Company, is a rare and highly regarded reproduction of the iconic Golden Craftsman Staunton chess set. The original set was created by a Japanese craftsman in occupied Japan during the post-World War II era, known for its intricate craftsmanship and elegant design. The Japanese version became a symbol of quality and artistry, with each piece meticulously hand-carved from high-quality materials.

The reproduction by the Indian Chess Company sought to capture the essence of the original, maintaining the same detailed craftsmanship and luxurious appearance. The original Golden Craftsman Staunton set is now a sought-after collector’s item, often selling for thousands of dollars due to its rarity and historical significance. The Indian-made version, while less expensive, still holds a special place among chess enthusiasts for its fine detailing and craftsmanship.
