The famous France based chess piece manufacturer "Lardy" was situated in Dortan, Oyonnax in the French Jura. In 1950s and 60s Lardy exported large numbers of chess sets to the major markets like USA and England, where they were commercialized by games brands such as Cavalier, Drueke, Lowe, Sterling and others. Thus this prompted the local makers like Drueke or Horn and other manufacturers in the USA and Jaques in England to stop or reduce making quality wooden chess pieces. Chessbazaar presents the reproduction of French Lardy chess set where we have made this wonderful chess set available to chess enthusiasts at most affordable prices. We have kept the design of the set as close to the original as possible. Lardy staunton chess sets can easily be distinguished by their typical blocky knig.
