As with all of our Chess sets, the Exeter Series exemplifies a perfect combination of distinct beauty and functionality. It has been designed to withstand the rigors of practical play while maintaining an elegance which has become the hallmark of a House of Staunton chess set.

The design of the Pescara Series Luxury Chess set features a slender, elegant form that is ideal for those that are interested in a Chess set that follows traditional classical Staunton proportions, but at the same time has a distinctive and attractive appearance.

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