FAQ
What wood options are available for the chessmen?
The Sultan Series chessmen are available in two wood pairings: Genuine Ebony and Natural Boxwood (the classic high-contrast combination), or Blood Rosewood and Natural Boxwood (a warmer, richly grained alternative). Both options feature the same hand-carving quality and weighted construction - the choice comes down to your personal aesthetic preference.
What box finish options are included in this combination?
The Fitted Coffer chess box is available in Bird's Eye Maple with HOS Logo, Mahogany with HOS Logo, or Red Burl with HOS Logo. All three feature the House of Staunton logo laser engraved on the lid and can be personalized for gift giving. The box provides individual storage compartments for every chess piece, along with brass quadrant hinges, a removable top tray, and a lock and key with tassel.
Can I add a board bag to this combination?
Yes - at checkout you can optionally add a Standard Chess Board Bag (28" x 28") or a Deluxe Chess Board Bag (28" x 28") to protect and transport your chessboard. The recommended bag size for this board is 28".
Why does this set include four Queens?
Each Sultan Series set includes 34 chessmen - two extra Queens (one per color) to facilitate pawn promotion during play. When a pawn reaches the opposite end of the board and promotes to a Queen, you have the correct piece ready without any improvisation. The House of Staunton established this as a standard for their luxury sets in 1993.
Is a Certificate of Authenticity included?
Yes. Every House of Staunton luxury chess set comes with a personalized Certificate of Authenticity presented in an embossed black leather cover. The COA includes the set's unique registration number, the pattern name, the specific wood types of your pieces, and the year of purchase - making it a true collector's document that travels with the set.
What warranty coverage does this set carry?
The House of Staunton warranties this combination to be free from manufacturing defects for a period of one year from the date of purchase. A downloadable copy of the warranty and care guide is available on their website.
