The British Chess Company Imperial Luxury Chess Pieces are a masterful reproduction of the iconic Imperial Chessmen introduced in 1891. These pieces are expertly crafted from genuine Ebony and Natural Boxwood, featuring a design where the physical size of each piece reflects its relative power on the board—making the Rooks notably more massive than the Knights or Bishops. For added prestige, the Kings are crowned with a gold-embossed Black English leather pad featuring Frank Camaratta's signature. The set is heavily weighted and finished with plush green billiard cloth base pads for stability. This luxury collection includes a total of 34 pieces, including two additional Queens for pawn promotion, a Certificate of Authenticity, an engraved registered plaque, and an individual production number.
