A Jaques London Chess set was used in the famous 1972 World Championship between Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky, dubbed the Match of the Century.
The “Game of Kings” was made affordable for the everyman with Jaques production of the Staunton Chess set.
A 1/12th replica of a Jaques Staunton chess set was created personally by John Jaques IV for Queen Mary, and is still on display in the Queen Mary’s Dollhouse at Windsor Castle.
The Staunton Chess set gets its name from Howard Staunton, considered to be the best player of his time, who frequently railed against non-standard chess pieces in his column for the Illustrated London News.
Lewis Chess Set
Discovered in 1831 on the Isle of Lewis in the Scottish Outer Hebrides, the Lewis Chess Pieces are probably the second most famous chess set design in the world after the standardised Staunton style. The original pieces, found by a local shepherd, are on display in the British Museum and the Museum of Edinburgh, but Jaques of London are proud to offer our beautiful, high quality replica Lewis Chess Sets, handmade from ground marble resin to the original specifications. This set does not include a chess board, but we offer a range of stunning boards which provide the ideal companion to any of our chess sets.
