Elevate your chess experience with the Italfama Large Arabesque Chess Set, paired with the elegant elm burl chess case. This complete package unites masterful Italian craftsmanship, intricate artistry, and a luxurious board-and-storage solution, perfect for serious play, display, or collection.
The Large Arabesque chessmen are handcrafted in Florence, Italy, and transform the classic Staunton style with intricate arabesque patterns that weave artistry into every piece. Each figure is cast from solid zinc using the traditional lost-wax method, then plated in radiant brass and nickel. Multiple lacquer layers protect the finish, preserving its brilliance for decades. The king stands an impressive 4" tall with a 1.125" base, offering substantial presence and perfectly balanced weight, while felted bases ensure smooth, quiet movement on your board.
Complementing the pieces is Italfama’s elm burl chess case, crafted from elm burl and erable veneer with a high-gloss polyurethane finish. The board’s rich brown-orange tones and muted grain are accented by a sleek black delimiter. A fully removable drawer reveals 32 felt-lined compartments, keeping each piece secure and protected while doubling as an elegant display piece and heirloom-quality furniture.
Together, the Large Arabesque chessmen and elm burl case form a complete luxury package that blends artistry, history, and Italian craftsmanship—ideal for collectors, chess enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a sophisticated centerpiece.
