Description

This 34 piece Chessmen Set is Extra Weighted, Felt Based and 2 extra Queens.

This Chess Set is inspired by a design that was extremely popular in Europe in the 1950’s and ’60’s.  A similar design was used in the 1959 World Championship Candidates Tournament in Bled – Zagreb – Belgrade and you may often see this type of set called the Zagreb ’59.

The Knight is nicely carved. He has his head down, a closed mouth and an elegant curved neck above his thick chest.

The complete set is handcrafted from solid Boxwood. The Black Chess Pieces go through a process of staining and lacquering.

With King height 95mm (3 3/4″) it best suits a Chess Board with 50mm Squares.
