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.

Read About the Leningrad Chessmen and Their History
Discover the Eastern European influences, functional design philosophy
and distinctive craftsmanship behind the Leningrad chess pattern. Our
dedicated heritage guide explores its association with Soviet-era chess,
the development of its dramatic knight and the characteristics that
continue to make these pieces popular with players and collectors.
Craftsmanship note:
these are modern handcrafted chessmen inspired by Eastern European design
traditions. Repeatable shaping methods establish consistent profiles,
followed by skilled hand finishing. The knights are individually carved
and refined, while natural variations in colour and timber grain are part
of genuine wooden manufacture.
