1884 Sheesham Morphy Professional Staunton Chess Pieces 3.75 Inch

Introducing the 1884 Sheesham Morphy Professional Staunton Chess Pieces, each standing at 3.75 inches. Also known as the Professional Staunton or Paul Morphy Series, these chess pieces are meticulously carved from solid blocks of Sheesham wood. Named in homage to the famous American chess player Paul Charles Morphy, who sadly passed away in 1884, this series celebrates his remarkable yet brief career in chess. Morphy’s legacy is defined by consistent victories over notable opponents, including Hungarian chess great Johann Lowenthal, even at a young age. Crafted with the highest quality Sheesham wood and polished to a smooth, natural finish, these chess pieces serve as a tribute to the late Paul Morphy. Each piece is thoughtfully padded with thick green felt to protect the chess board, and careful weighting ensures stability during play. Hand-carved in Amritsar, India, a renowned hub of skilled artisans, these chessmen exemplify precision and craftsmanship, making them a fitting homage to a chess legend.
