The Russian Zagreb Chessmen set offers a stunning and authentic reproduction of the iconic chess pieces used during the 1959 World Chess Tournament in Zagreb. This set is meticulously crafted to capture the charm and elegance of the original pieces, making it a must-have for collectors and serious chess players.

Each piece features exquisite profiles, with the knight boasting a distinctive and recognisable design. The set’s simple yet graceful curvature ensures there are no sharp points, making it practical and durable for frequent use. The elegant shapes add a refined aesthetic that enhances the experience of every game.

Chessmen Specifications:

  • King Height: 3.1 inches (78 mm)
  • King Base Diameter: 1.3 inches (32 mm)

Wood Combination:

  • Dark Chess Pieces: Acacia wood
  • Light Chess Pieces: Boxwood

The set includes 34 chess pieces, providing the standard pieces along with two extra queens for more strategic gameplay. The combination of Acacia and Boxwood creates a visually stunning contrast, adding elegance to each game.

The set is completed with a 15.75-inch mahogany maple inlaid chessboard and a mahogany slide-lid box for secure and stylish storage of the pieces. This ensures the set remains protected when not in use, making it both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Attention overseas customers: Please note that your order may be subject to customs taxes, which must be paid directly to your governing tax office.

In the realm of hand-carved products, it's essential to acknowledge that the artistry involved in crafting chess pieces and related items by hand can lead to unique variations. The use of wood, being a natural material, inherently results in differences in color, shade, and tone.

Furthermore, please keep in mind that the hand-carving process may introduce subtle differences between individual pieces within a set, adding to their individual character.

Additionally, for transparency, we want to clarify that the use of veneer is exclusive to our chess boards and boxes. All other items, including chess pieces and related accessories, are crafted from solid wood unless explicitly stated otherwise in our listings. This distinction is made to ensure compliance with CITES regulations governing lumber species while maintaining the exceptional quality and craftsmanship of our hand-carved products.

Hand-Carved Products Disclaimer:

  • Variations in Wood: Due to the natural and inconsistent nature of wood, expect variations in color, wood tones, shade, and tone.
  • Artistic Hand-Carving: Hand-carved products may exhibit subtle differences between individual pieces, enhancing their unique character and wood variance.
  • Approximate Weights and Sizes: Provided weights and sizes are approximate guides, considering the handmade nature of our products.
  • Chess Boards and Boxes: Unless explicitly labeled as "solid wood," chess boards and boxes are made with veneer to comply with CITES regulations. Other items are crafted from solid wood for quality and compliance.
