The Harrwitz Black and Anegre Staunton Chess Set is not just a chess set—it's a tribute to a legend and a piece of history. Named after Daniel Harrwitz, a 19th-century chess master known for his brilliance in blindfold play and matches against icons like Staunton and Morphy, this set brings a piece of that legacy into your home.
Every piece in this set is crafted with exceptional attention to detail. The black pieces are ebonized to achieve a deep, elegant finish, while the light pieces are carefully antiqued, giving them a refined, timeless look. These are not just chess pieces; they are works of art designed to last, adding sophistication to your collection.
The king stands at an impressive 3.5 inches, perfectly weighted for balance, and features a protective felt base to ensure smooth play. What sets this collection apart are the authentic reproduction pieces, complete with original king's crown markings on select knights and rooks—an elegant nod to traditional chess notation.
This set is paired with a luxurious 19.7-inch Black Anegre and Maple board, meticulously crafted by the renowned artisans at Rechapados Ferrer in Spain. The board's high gloss finish and quality veneers highlight the beautiful contrast between the black and light pieces, making every game a visual delight.
