    CALVERT CHESS SET
    LARGE, 18th CENTURY STYLE
    FINELY CARVED WOODEN CHESS SET
    4.25 INCH KING
    This style of chessmen is attributed to John Calvert of London, in the late 18th century.
    The handsome clarity and robust beauty of Calvert's design transcends the centuries, making this a very popular style among modern players and collectors.

    HIGH QUALITY POLISHED HARDWOOD
    The high density and natural luster of boxwood has made it the long standing favorite for the best carved wooden chessmen. This set features boxwood on both sides; finely carved and highly polished. While the "white" side shows its natural wood grain, the "black" pieces are deeply stained to match the color of ebony. The two sides match each other perfectly in weight, feel and luster, while maintaining the dark and light tones most ideal for chess play.
    PADDED AND WEIGHTED
    These chessmen are generously weighted, and padded on the bottom with green felt pads. This soft, smooth padding gives a pleasant feeling of contact with the chessboard.
    The entire set weighs 2 pounds, 10 ounces.
    SIZE
    The king of this set stands a proud 4.25 inches tall.
    They fit comfortably on a board of 2 to 2.5 inch squares.
