Crafted with precision and a keen eye for detail, the Leningrad chessmen are crafted using a meticulous and time-consuming process known as ebonisation, where natural boxwood pieces are transformed into a striking black hue, evoking the luxurious appearance of ebony without the high price tag. This technique not only enhances the appearance of the pieces but also provides extra protection for the wood.

The Leningrad carvings possess an added level of intricacy due to their taller stature, particularly noticeable in the exquisite detail of the knights. Each piece exudes a regal and elegant aura, enhanced by their grand size and perfectly balanced weight. The bases are adorned with lush green flocking, adding to the luxurious feel of the set. Including four queens, this set of chessmen is accompanied by a nineteen-inch veneer chessboard with fine inlays, specifically chosen to complement the chessmen.
