The Chess pieces are heavily weighted with gold embossed English Leather base pads under the Kings, luxurious billiard cloth base pads on the other Chess pieces and a beautiful finish. As its name implies, the design of the Parthenon Series Luxury Chess Set was heavily inspired by the Maestro's passion for Greek architecture. Like the temple for which they are named, these Chessmen capture the elegant, slender proportions of the Parthenon's iconic columns and are simply magnificent.

The Chessmen are new and each set consists of 34 Chessmen, including four Queens, a standard that was introduced by The House of Staunton over 10 years ago. The Kings come with 2 different finials (crosses) each, the traditional western cross as well as the eastern European Teardrop finial.

The Chess Set comes with a personalized Certificate of Authenticity and an original manufacturer's plaque indicating the production number, with an adhesive backing that would allow it to be affixed to the underside of a Chess box.
