For your purchasing consideration....
The House of Staunton is proud to offer another masterpiece - The Biedemeier Vintage Pre-Staunton Series Luxury Chessmen. These Chessmen feature a 4.4" King with a 1.5" Diameter base and are brass weighted.
The Biedermeier Antique Chessmen were normally produced in Boxwood and Ebony beginning in the late 1830s. The chessmen are tall and slender with disc-like bases.
The “Biedermeier” period is often associated with a period of relative peace following the French Revolution in 1830. The Bishops of this design are characterized by the remarkable sloped headpiece with its protruding staff. The design of these chessmen are strongly inspired by the more primitive Selenus design of the 18th century. With a little imagination, one can discern, in somewhat abstract form, the heads of messengers or couriers, with a feather in their caps.
