The Regency Chess Company

Large, quality pieces. Crafted from ebonised boxwood. Weighted and felted. 4-inch (102 mm) king and two additional queens. Beautifully crafted 19-inch board from Spain. High quality and good value for money. 1.9-inch playing squares. A striking chess set featuring large, beautifully weighted Leningrad ebonised boxwood pieces paired with a high-quality 19-inch veneer board. The Leningrad Chessmen series comprises sets of quality large pieces available in ebonised boxwood, acacia and anjan. To create the look of these black pieces, a set of natural boxwood goes through a treatment called ebonisation. It's a long and painstaking procedure, but the results are really worth the wait to create the appearance of ebony, without its price tag. The process also protects the wood further. With their height and stature, all the pieces are regal and elegant in their appearance. These large pieces are perfectly weighted for their size and naturally polished with plush flocked bases in green. We have chosen a nineteen-inch veneer chessboard with fine quality inlays to accommodate the Leningrad ebonised chessmen. This is a classic design that has been crafted in Europe to a very high standard and represents superb value for money. The board has a substantial weight with a solid feel, and is very well finished, making it perfect to complement these pieces.
