A Complete Full-Sized Leningrad Chess Set
This coordinated set combines the recognisable architecture of the Leningrad pattern with a generously proportioned 19-inch wooden chessboard. The tall stems, substantial bases and expressive carved knights give the pieces a distinctive Eastern European character, while the mahogany and maple playing surface provides a warm and traditional setting. A matching mahogany storage box completes the collection and keeps all 34 chessmen protected when the set is not in use.
