When Nathaniel Cooke filed for design number 58,607 on March 1st, 1849, he unknowingly set the stage for the creation of the Staunton Chessmen—an iconic design that would forever change the game. These chess pieces were entrusted to John Jacques of London, a historic company that has been crafting fine wood and ivory items since 1795, and continues to be a symbol of quality to this day.
Step into the world of luxury chess with the JJ Cooke Edition Ebony and Montgoy Chess Set. This set is a refined homage to the original Staunton design, crafted by skilled artisans using premium ebony and boxwood. Each piece is carefully handcrafted to ensure perfect balance and weight, with a billiard cloth base that not only provides a smooth playing experience but also protects your board.
The elegant design of the ebony and antiqued boxwood pieces offers both aesthetic beauty and investment value, making it a cherished heirloom for generations to come. Paired with the grand Montgoy Palisander chessboard—our largest offering—crafted by Rechapados Ferrer in Spain, this set radiates sophistication. The board features Montgoy palisander and maple veneers, with a meticulous finish that highlights the rich dark red and brown hues of the rosewood and the elegant grain of the lighter maple squares.
Every aspect of this set, from the towering height of the king to the flawless craftsmanship of the board, speaks of exclusivity and timeless elegance. This is not just a chess set; it is a piece of art that brings together history, craftsmanship, and the pure luxury of a game played on the finest materials.
