Praise For Studio Anne Carlton

Original 1970's Roman Chess Set
Roman - Chess Set
A bit late I know but ……. This chess set was bought for me in the late 1970s when your studio was on Flinton street in Hull, it is still going strong, although 2 of the white pawns sadly have had head repairs. I never though to get them replaced. These sets are truly built for a lifetime.

Battle Of Hastings Pawn
Replacement Piece
I lost a Pawn from a "Battle of Hastings" Chess set and Harry at Studio Anne Carlton was able to find a replacement. He only needed a couple pictures and the name and was able to locate a suitable replacement. I received the new pawn quickly in the mail and it was a perfect match. I would recommend Studio Anne Carlton and appreciate their service.
