FAQ
What makes this a "combination" set and what savings does it offer?
This combination bundles the B & Co. Series chessmen, an Italian-crafted Elm Burl/Maple chessboard, and a premium chess box together at a price that represents 26% savings off the MSRP compared to purchasing each component separately. It is the most cost-effective way to acquire this complete luxury chess setup.
Are the chessmen hand carved or machine made?
Every piece in the B & Co. Series is hand carved by master artisans at House of Staunton using the highest grade genuine Ebony and Natural Boxwood. Machine-made pieces cannot match the quality, finish, or attention to detail that goes into each hand-crafted set.
Why does the set include four Queens?
The set includes four Queens total - two per color - to allow for pawn promotion during play. When a pawn reaches the opposite end of the board, it can be promoted to a Queen. House of Staunton introduced this four-Queen standard in 1993 so players are always properly equipped for this common game situation.
What chess box options are available?
When purchased as this combination, you can select from a variety of premium wood finish options for the chess box, including Mahogany, Red Burl, Brazilian Rosewood, Bubinga Burl, Elm Burl, Golden Heart, Macassar Ebony, Black Finish, Bird's Eye Maple, Maple Burl, and Amboyna Burl - some with small additional charges. All boxes feature brass quadrant hinges and a lock & key.
Is the chessboard suitable for the 4.4" King chessmen?
Yes. The included board features 2.5" squares, which is the ideal square size for a 4.4" King with a 1.875" base diameter. House of Staunton pairs boards and pieces specifically to ensure proper proportions for comfortable, visually balanced play.
Does the set come with a Certificate of Authenticity?
Every House of Staunton luxury chess set comes with a personalized, individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity presented in a black leather cover embossed with the HOS logo in silver foil. The COA includes the unique registration number, pattern name, wood types, and year of purchase - making each set a documented, individual work of art.
