Product Description
Semenov Chess Set. An all wood and painted chess set from Semenov circa late 1980s (and imported into the US, hence the "Made in Russia" labels). The pawns are matryoshkas on a pedestal. The major pieces were made uniquely for the set. Each piece is handmade and painted with the traditional colors of red and black. The board is painted all the way around. Wood board is 14" square when open and has two hook latches. The pieces are stored inside of the box. The tallest piece is 4" and the smallest is 2⅜". In about new condition. A nice gift for the matryoshka collector who also likes to play chess.
Note: White, cloudy areas in the photos are "hot spots" caused by studio lights reflected from off the shiny lacquer. The pieces are fine.
