The Leuchars Chess Set takes its name from William Leuchars, the distinguished Victorian retailer who offered some of the earliest Staunton chess sets from his prestigious Piccadilly premises in 1849. This rare design features the distinctive Leuchars knight, characterised by its simpler interpretation of the famous Cooke knight pattern. Faithfully inspired by these scarce historical originals, the set captures the elegance and understated refinement associated with early Staunton chessmen.
