The quintessential Staunton chess set
A brass chessboard accompanied by Staunton chess pieces —the ones we know and love, the ones we simply consider the finest chess pieces . These classic chess pieces are named after Howard Staunton , who was widely regarded as one of the world's best players. The knight, the most intricate and distinctive piece in any chess set , is a realistically sculpted horse's head. The Staunton knight was likely inspired by a sculpture on the east pediment of the Parthenon.
