    Alexander Baburin is a grandmaster based in Dublin. If you email him at ababurin@iol.ie, he should have a catalogue.

    http://shop.chess.co.uk/ has a wide selection, though postage for a heavy set might be steep enough.

    I got a really nice backgammon set as a present here

    http://www.oksports.ie

    It wasn't megabucks but it was (and still is) very lovely quality.

    I just got a set that was pieces only, but I was keeping an eye on this one too.
    Copy the text into ebay's search bar

    (Sorry you would have to search for the text in ebay, as I can't post URL's yet... and yes, they spelt staunton wrong!)

    'Tournament American Stauton folding wooden chess set - Great gift'

    It's a folding set for €70
    Looks like a nice, full size board & pieces, (not sure if you have a preference for a folding board or not).
    Pieces look good quality, and they are weighted too.
