ClassicTournamentStaunton/Jim Arnold
jim arnold (see more by this artist)
This could very well be the finest Chess Piece/Chess Board set ever produced in the United States. The chess pieces are completely hand turned, hand carved by international award winning chess set artist Jim Arnold. My pieces are signed, numbered, dated, weighted, and have black leather pads on the bottom (NOT felt). Pieces are made to USCF and FIDE tournament standards. Chess board sold separately!
For the pieces I use select antique walnut (aged at least 30 years) and Pear wood. Pear wood was one of the original materials used for chess piece construction in the 1700 and 1800s. Presently, no one else in the world is using Pear wood. I have a stock of Pearwood that has been drying in the Blue Ridge Mountains for many years. Its beautiful!
The chess board, sold separately,is made by American Artist Andy Summerville, and it's flawless! See more of Andy's fantastic chessboards at www.summerville-newengland.com
This collaboration represents the best in American handmade quality. Skip the mass produced computer driven factory machined product, this art. It's beautiful and there is nothing that compares to it. The Arnold/Summerville chess sets are
"Art that you can play with!"
