Mark of Westminster Chess Pieces are the paradigm of perfection in wood staunton chess piece design. The premier chess pieces by Mark Of Westminster have been known for their heirloom quality. Each chess set is exclusive, with a lifetime warranty for natural defect. Each set is hand-carved, well weighted with felt bottoms, and extra queens. The Lardy design is one of our most popular styles, with a classic, playable look and feel. It finds its roots in the traditional chess sets that dominated the past century of chess.
