LENINGRAD | Ebonised | 4" | 100mm
The Leningrad Ebonised chess pieces are inspired by Howard Staunton, who introduced and promoted the standard Staunton design at the 1851 London International Chess Tournament.
Each piece is carefully handcrafted from ebonised Boxwood for the darker pieces and Boxwood for the lighter ones, resulting in a visually stunning collection.
