Dark pieces in bud rosewood, with its deep red-brown colour; light pieces in boxwood. Tournament size, with a 3.75-inch king.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach piece follows the grammar of the 1849 design: rooks like solid castles, slim-collared pawns, bishops with simple mitres, a tall king with its cross and a queen with a coronet. The knights, the showpieces of the set, are modelled on the horses of the Elgin Marbles from the Parthenon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWood:\u003c\/strong\u003e bud rosewood (dark), boxwood (light)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.75 in (97 mm) tall, 1.8 in (45 mm) base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSet weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e about 3.1 lb (1.4 kg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBases:\u003c\/strong\u003e felt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBoard to match:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.16–2.36-inch (55–60 mm) squares\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e 34 pieces, with two extra queens; board sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePiece sizes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePiece\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBase\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.75 in (97 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.8 in (45 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eQueen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.0 in (77 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.7 in (43 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBishop\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.7 in (68 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5 in (37 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKnight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.5 in (64 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5 in (37 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRook\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.2 in (57 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.6 in (40 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePawn\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.9 in (50 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.3 in (33 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRosewood sets cannot be shipped to the United States.
