Classic Russian Staunton Rosewood Chess Pieces

These classic Russian styled chess pieces have several distinctive features. The pieces are crafted of premium Rosewood and Boxwood, and the Rosewood pieces are particularly striking. They have a unique heavy wood grain that displays bands of light, and dark shades of reddish-brown. The Russian styling is most evident on the knights, whose delicately curved necks and downward turned heads take on a regal appearance. Most interesting about this chess set are the bishops - the light bishop sports a dark rosewood cap, and the dark bishop features a light Maple cap. This set also features a 3.75 inch king height and the pieces are double weighted with felted bottoms.
