From the celebrated workshops of Italfama in Florence, Italy, comes a chess set of breathtaking beauty — the Grande Luxe Gold & Silver Variegated Chess Set. Designed for those who demand the very finest, this set marries master metalwork with intricate wood detailing for a presentation that commands attention.
Each piece is hand-turned from solid brass and finished with 24-karat gold for the black pieces and pure silver for the white. This classic metallic contrast is elevated by one of the most distinctive design features in any chess set: a wood column between the base and collar.
For the gold pieces, the columns are painted black with a unique gold variegated pattern. For the silver pieces, the same, black-painted columns feature a silver variegated pattern, creating a subtle yet striking interplay between the two sides. This combination of warm metal, cool metal, and hand painted wood gives the set a visual depth few chess sets can match.
With its towering 5-inch King, broad 1.75-inch bases, and a total weight of 13 pounds, this set offers a sense of substance and permanence. While designed to be a true showpiece, its size and balance also make it an absolute pleasure to play.
Italfama created a matching luxury chessboard specifically for this set, ensuring that the final presentation is nothing short of spectacular — whether displayed in a living room, office, or collector’s cabinet.
