Studio Anne Carlton’s HM The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Chess Set is officially ‘Cool Britannia’

London’s biggest souvenir store, Cool Britannia, is the latest retailer to support HM The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations, offering the beautifully hand crafted figurines of both HM The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh, that feature in Studio Anne Carlton’s Diamond Jubilee Chess Set.

In association with St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle and with the approval of Buckingham Palace, Studio Anne Carlton has launched their Diamond Jubilee Chess Set and figurines of HM The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh.  The individual collectable pieces are available separately or together in a commemorative silk-lined gift box.  Cool Britannia will be retailing the figurines across their London stores.

For over 40 years Studio Anne Carlton has been associated with producing traditional, hand crafted chess sets and this well respected, quintessential English company is proud to celebrate the heritage of its nation.  The commemorative chess set and figurines are intricately and skilfully hand painted.  Within the chess set every piece is marked with The Queen’s Cypher and each set includes a Parchment Certificate.

Studio Anne Carlton’s managing director, Michael Lee, explains; “Studio Anne Carlton was delighted to have the opportunity to produce this luxurious Diamond Jubilee chess set and the individual figurines of HM the Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh and we are pleased to have the support of Cool Britannia to offer such significant royal souvenirs to British people and tourists alike.   These items represent a remarkable achievement by HM The Queen and a truly important event in the history of the United Kingdom.  They will appeal to all those people around the world who acknowledge the British Royal Family and wish to own and enjoy collectable memorabilia.”

Cool Britannia general manager, Phil Walls commented; “The quality of SAC’s Diamond Jubilee figurines is fantastic and we know that patriotic Brits and tourists visiting the Capital this year will be impressed and enthused to purchase such beautiful keepsakes of a very special occasion.”
