From India's master craftsman, Chopra, we have some of the finest quality, hand-carved, traditional Staunton pattern chess sets in the world. The ability to do fine wood turning and carving by hand is an art lost in many modern societies but is alive and thriving in India, the home of chess. Our sets are simply exquisite. Made from exotic hardwoods, they are expertly finished and weighted to give not only the right look but also the right feel. They must be handled to be truly appreciated.
