Exclusive Staunton Seville 87 chess pieces.
They are an exact reproduction of the set used at the Chess World Championship that took place in Seville in 1987, where the epic matches between the Grand Masters Karpov and Kasparov were held.
The rocks stand out to be a representation of the Torre de Oro (“The Golden Tower”, in Seville), as a tribute to the most emblematic buildings of the city where the Championship took place.
They are handcrafted with exceptional details, using boxwood and with a natural and black glossy varnished finish.
They incorporate a green felt cloth at the base and they are delivered in a premium varnished pine wood box with divisions for each piece, which closes with a cover equipped with hinges and covered with foam in the inside for their protection.

Workshop
Mora is a workshop located in a small village called Sant Pere de Torelló (Barcelona, Spain) which has been elaborating artisanal chess pieces and wood toys since 1942.
During these last more than 75 years of experience they have preserved the same essence and philosophy of using high quality local products.
Its artists (workers) create, manipulate, touch, examine, take care and paint by hand with a paint brush each piece they elaborate. As an example, they elaborate an outstanding and very characteristic Staunton horse which goes through more than 20 manual operations.
