architectural profiles, substantial bases and distinctive carved
knights create a recognisable Eastern European character, while the

play. The accompanying deluxe mahogany box keeps the complete 34-piece
set securely stored when not in use and gives the collection a refined,
coordinated presentation.

Discover the Story of the Leningrad Chessmen
Read about the Eastern European chess culture, practical design
philosophy and distinctive craftsmanship behind the Leningrad pattern.
Our dedicated heritage guide explores its association with Soviet-era
chess, its dramatic carved knight and the features that continue to
attract modern players and collectors.
Craftsmanship note:
these are modern handcrafted chessmen inspired by Eastern European design
traditions. Repeatable shaping methods are used to establish consistent
profiles, followed by skilled hand finishing. The carved knights are
individually refined, while natural variations in timber grain and finish
are part of authentic wooden manufacture.
