AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Russian Chess
This chess set comes from Saint Petersburg. The pieces and the board are made of glazed wood, very well decorated, recalling the Russian medieval nobility and its soldiers. Special mention deserves the knight and the rook; they are beautiful. The shine and the different color contrasts between the pieces and the board create a beautiful visual effect as they reflect the light.
All the pieces have felt on their bases for smooth sliding over the board without damaging it. In addition to being a decorative object, it can be played with without fear of damaging it.
It is a large chess set; the King is 10 cm tall and the Pawn 5.5 cm, with an approximate base of 3 cm for each piece. The board is foldable with open dimensions of 40 cm and about 3 cm thick. See the shape of its latch, it is very pretty.
The board has a scratch and some signs of use. The pieces are in perfect condition.
It also includes a set of checkers pieces.
It will be shipped in proper packaging to protect it during transport. With tracking number
