Golden Khokhloma Matryoshka Chess Set – Hand-Painted Russian Wooden Chess Game

Chess is more than a game — it’s a tool for intellectual development and an enjoyable way to spend time with family and friends. Suitable for both children and adults, chess encourages strategic thinking, patience, and logic. This handcrafted Golden Khokhloma Matryoshka Chess Set is a stunning example of folk tradition blended with functional artistry.

Folk Elegance Meets Strategic Play

Made by the skilled artisans of Brest Souvenir Factory, this set features 32 wooden pieces shaped like traditional Russian nesting dolls and hand-painted in vibrant red and green with golden floral patterns in the famous Khokhloma style. A unique gift for lovers of Russian culture, this set works equally well as a beautiful decorative item or as an everyday game board.

The folding chessboard measures 11.8 x 11.8 inches (30 x 30 cm). The king stands 3.35 inches (8.5 cm), the queen 2.95 inches (7.5 cm), and the pawns 1.97 inches (5 cm) tall. Each piece has a velvet base to protect the board during play. Inside, the board is lined with linen canvas, and the pieces store securely beneath the playing surface when folded.

Handcrafted Quality from a Historic Workshop

Since 1953, Brest Souvenir Factory has honored the legacy of Eastern European woodcraft, producing hand-carved and hand-painted toys, gifts, and collectibles. Due to the handcrafted nature, slight variations in size or pattern are natural and make every set unique.
