The Leningrad Chess Set is a masterpiece of tradition and craftsmanship, uniting timeless Staunton design with exquisite detailing.

The 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, creating a visually striking collection.

Beyond its functionality as a chess set, it is a beautiful work of art that embodies the city's rich heritage, which inspired its name.
