UNICORN REDWOOD 4,25" chess pieces

Another beautiful model from Staunton luxurious pieces collection. One cannot stand indifferently looking on the knight  of this model which resembles rather a majestic lion than an ordinary stallion. Compared to other models, this one features marvelously carved knight eyes. They seem to be extremly inteligent and look defiantly at the enemy  without any sign of fear. Carefully arranged mane along with the upright ears and a slightly open muzzle make this piece one of the most beautiful at all.

Black pieces are made of padauk (Pterocarpus sandalinus) while the white ones are made of boxwood.
