The Leningrad series offers exquisite chess sets made of ebonized boxwood, acacia, and anjan. The dark pieces are constructed from acacia, a visually stunning and slightly lighter wood than Golden rosewood (sheesham). Regency Chess customers frequently praise the solid feel and expert craftsmanship of the Leningrad Series Chessmen. The intricate detailing, particularly on the knights, adds to the regal and elegant aesthetic of these towering pieces. Their substantial weight and velvety green bases make them ideal for both casual and competitive gameplay, while the elegant board, handcrafted in Greece, serves as a stunning backdrop.
With the expertise of the family-owned Manopoulos, renowned for their marquetry and backgammon sets, this wooden chess board is of the highest quality and value. Crafted with top-notch mahogany and birch veneers, and master workmanship, it exudes an old-fashioned artisanal charm and durability. This traditional chess set will surely stand the test of time without breaking the budget.
