They're a Staunton set of some variety.

I don't think they're Dubrovnik chessmen - the bases are steeper and the heads of the bishops are fatter than Dubrovnik chessmen.

It's an old chess set in a mansion of some sort

>>47222653
I just love how the table is with that thing, so cool imo. Just would love to find out what it is

>>47222653
Are you looking to buy that chess set from somewhere?

The colour scheme sort of reminds of historic Austrian chessmen, but the style is definitely Staunton.
>>
>>47222653
Red-and-yellow chess boards don't seem to be common. it was probably designed to look medieval.
>>
Which is more satisfying to play with - stone pieces and board, or wood pieces and board?
>>
>>47222778
Could the colors be darker on the screen for lighting purposes? And yeah I bet it was designed for something like that as it is in a house of a mobster italian family but I think it is so cool.
>>47222736
Yes I am looking to purchase it, or atleast find out the price of it. I have no idea how much it would be but I could definitely see myself playing that game with a friend or even myself to strengthen my mind.

I actually did find a better one. Here you go guys

Do you notice how all the bases of the pieces are triple-collared?

I looked at the knight in the first picture and I think it's a French knight.
>>
>>47223150
You think so?
>>
>>47223392
I'm not sure.

The knight is looking straight ahead / slightly upwards so it could be a French Knight, but now I think it might be a Prof Knight.
