Mark of Westminster Chess Pieces are the perfection in wood Staunton chess piece design. The chess pieces by Mark of Westminster are known for their heirloom quality. Each chess set is personal, with a printed certificate of authenticity that serves as a lifetime warranty for natural defect. Each chess piece is hand-carved, has felt-bottoms and extra queens.
These chess pieces are special with steel plug inserts for the base that make them extremely heavy, resistant to cracking. Not only is there the steel cross, but also a more traditional wooden cross and a signature “W” for the Westminster collection. This allows some flexibility in how modern or traditional you’d like your chess pieces to be.
These extremely well weighted chess pieces are Rosewood and Boxwood, which can suit virtually any board color, however Mahogany
