The Staunton chess pieces we know and love, simply called chess pieces. These classic chess pieces are named after Howard Staunton, who was widely considered one of the best players in the world. The knight, the most intricate and striking piece in the chess set, is a realistically carved horse's head. The Staunton knight was likely inspired by a sculpture on the east pediment of the Parthenon. 'Metal Staunton by Manopoulos' reinforces this architectural history of the original pieces while respecting their timeless design.
