Squat, wide based and built for hard use in club halls rather than display cabinets, they look nothing like the tall English Staunton sets that dominate the market. This is a reproduction of the Latvian pattern turned in the 1950s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe proportions tell the story. A 106mm king on a 43mm base gives a low centre of gravity, and at 1,170g across 34 pieces the set is moderately weighted rather than heavy. Knights are cut with the short, blunt muzzle typical of Baltic workshops of the period, and the bishops carry a plain mitre with no fuss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree timbers are offered and the choice is purely visual.
