1951-1954 ČESKÁ KLUBOVKA Fide 4" Chessmen-Distress & Mahogany Stained Boxwood

Description: Chess Villa is proud to offer historic- 1951-1954 "ČESKÁ KLUBOVKA" Fide Tournament Czech Chessmen. The Chessmen feature a 4″ King with a 1.7” Diameter base and are heavily weighted. Research informs us that these sets were made throughout the whole 20th century up to the present day. The 1st set, having full wooden knights, was made in Czech before it was part of Eastern bloc under Soviet Union and the 2nd one, having plastic knight heads, during the 1980ies. Full plastic sets do exist as well. The full wooden knight here is almost equal to the knight of the Fidet "Coffeehouse" set, an indication that Fidet could have made that set. November 2019 I saw a picture of the 1963 Czech Championship where they used such a set. The 2nd set is a No. IV (about 11cm King), but I have seen also a No. II (9cm) as well, original in cardboard box with rubber coated canvas scrolling board, manufactured in Czechoslovakia in town Frydlandt and called "Česká Klubovka". The original design was by famous Czech sculptor Bohuslav Schnirch at the end of 19th century. The beautiful chess set pieces with the meticulously handcrafted knights are carved with perfection and expert precision. It has been designed to withstand the rigours of practical play while maintaining an elegance. The Chess Pieces are hand carved by our skilled master craftsmen and crafted out of highest grade exotic woods. It offers the highest level of detail and would make a wonderful additional to any chess collection. The set is entirely handmade in India and weighted for prodigious hand-feel and a very nice thud on the wooden chess board.
