The chess set produced by Authentic Models is a meticulous and high quality reproduction of an original historic ivory set, created by the renowned British company _Jacques_ around 1850 \. This iconic set was purchased in a London auction in 1990 and represents a precious piece of chess history. It was precisely the famous English chess master Howard Staunton who promoted this design for the first time during the first international chess tournament, held in London in 1851 \. Since then, his pieces have been recognized as the Standard for competitions, giving rise to the famous "Set Staunton," which became synonymous with elegance and functionality in the chess area.
With their elegant and functional design, the Staunton pieces are easily distinguishable and ideal for the game, which is why this style has become the official set of international tournaments. Although the most common colors are red and ivory, especially between the 19th and the beginning of the twentieth century, variants of light and dark pieces have been used all over the world, giving life to an extraordinary aesthetic variety. In India, for example, the Maharaja and the Nababbi often played with green and ivory pieces, demonstrating how design and color were also important in traditional chess art.
The set _Grandmaster_ Red and ivory of Authentic Models has been designed for chess enthusiasts, art collectors and for anyone who wants to add a touch of elegance to a refined environment. Made to be exposed, this set adapts perfectly to classic and contemporary interiors that require a distinctive and sophisticated element, capable of making any table or space unique. Perfect as a collector's object or as a refined furnishing complement, this set becomes the visual fulcrum of each room, a tribute to timeless beauty of the chess game. _Neta: the scoreboard is not included ._
