Classic Staunton-Inspired Design
Modeled in the iconic Staunton silhouette—recognizable by its crowned king, mitred bishop, and sculpted knight—this set evokes the traditional elegance introduced in 1849 and remains the global standard
Polish Series Update
The "Polish Series" brings subtle refinements to the classic profile—sleeker curves and refined detailing—while preserving tournament-grade aesthetics and feel.
