This set is arguably amongst the most elegant of Staunton style chess men and the traditional Russian style is an enthusiast's dream. The pieces are completely hand crafted in rosewood, with the opposing side inhigh grade white boxwood and each piece is triple weighted and fitted with leather pads to the base. The King height is 3 1/4" and all the pieces, including the set's trademark Knight, with its stately arched neck, are all in exact proportion. A real leather jewel type case with a lockable solid brass fastener is supplied to hold the set when not in use or on display. (Board not included)
