Step into the rich history of chess with this 3.5" Circa 1856 Anderssen Drop Jaw Staunton Chess Set, a faithful reproduction of one of the most iconic designs from the mid-19th century. This set pays homage to the original crafted by Jaques of London between 1856 and 1862, named after Adolf Anderssen, the celebrated German chess master of the Romantic Era. Renowned for his brilliant attacking style, Anderssen left an indelible mark on chess history, famously playing "The Immortal Game" and "The Evergreen Game."
This set is inspired by the Staunton design standards of the 1850s and 1860s, featuring the legendary "Drop Jaw" knight with its striking open-mouthed carving.
Weighted for stability and smooth play, the set is both functional and visually striking.
The Anderssen Drop Jaw Chess Set is a timeless tribute to chess history and artistry, blending elegance with historical significance for collectors and players alike.
