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 will 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.

Handcrafted from Boxwood and Babul hardwood. Babul (Acacia nilotica) is a dense fine grained hardwood of Indian origin
