Reproduced 1940 Soviet Club Chess Set in Ebony & Ivory White - 4.0" King

Chessbazaar proudly presents the Reproduced 1940 Soviet Club Chess Set in an eye-catching ivory white color. The dark pieces are crafted from genuine ebony wood, while the light pieces are made of ivory white boxwood. The King stands 4.05" tall with a 1.73" base diameter. Ebony wood is known for its fine texture, deep luster, and total blackness, making it a luxurious choice. The pieces are meticulously handcrafted, polished by hand, and weighted for a superior feel.

The opposing boxwood pieces are finely carved, and the set includes extra queens for seamless pawn promotion. Each piece features unique rings, thick green felts for smooth movement, and expertly crafted knights. This exquisite set takes nearly a week to create, offering a truly remarkable chess experience.

Craftsmanship: Each piece showcases exceptional lathe work, elegant curves, and high-gloss lacquer polish for a smooth finish. Handmade in India, all chess pieces have a wide base for added stability.
