Dear Chess Player, \xa0 This week at The House of Staunton: \xa0 To celebrate a bit of chess history, we look into antique chess sets, what makes them special, and what the market for both them and replicas looks like. It’s a fascinating topic,and one every collector will want to know more about. \xa0 And to protect such priceless treasures (or your own excellent chess pieces), we also take a look at chess boxes.All can be great, but not every box is best for every set. Learn exactly what to look for with our article. \xa0 Finally, we hope you’ll be able to celebrate International Chess Day coming up on the 20th with a game or two of your own.Here at the House of Staunton, we still have our sale running through July 21st, so be sure to check it out and enjoy 25% off your next order. \xa0 Yours in chess, The House of Staunton Team |
