(5)
Introducing the Zagreb Legacy Chess Set, a standout addition to the Rex Noir luxury collection. Featuring the renowned Zagreb design, this set blends heritage craftsmanship with striking elegance – perfect for collectors and serious players alike.
The hand-carved pieces are made from Boxwood and Ebony, finished to the highest standard, with a King height of 100mm and 40mm base. Each piece sits securely in a large wooden storage box lined with black felt – every piece has its own slot to ensure complete protection. The board is identical to our flagship Istanbul Imperial set, crafted from Ebony and Boxwood with a dark Ebonised frame, high-gloss finish, and moulded edge. Together, they create an unmatched playing experience that is as refined as it is functional.
This set stands as a tribute to Eastern European chess tradition, bringing the legacy of Zagreb pieces into a modern luxury format that feels both classic and contemporary.
