From the celebrated workshops of Italfama in Florence, Italy, comes one of the most breathtaking chess sets ever created — the Large Classical Oriental Solid Brass Chess Set. This is more than a game; it is a showpiece of artistry, precision, and timeless elegance.
Each chess piece is individually turned on a lathe from solid brass stock, a meticulous process that produces perfectly balanced forms and crisp, symmetrical profiles. The warm golden brass is hand-polished to a radiant mirror finish, while the opposing pieces gleam in rich nickel plating, creating a striking contrast that feels both regal and contemporary. A protective lacquer preserves the brilliance for decades.
The design is an exquisite blend of Staunton-inspired proportions with classical Italian ornamentation, giving the set a refined and dignified presence. At nearly 4 inches tall, the King commands attention, and the set’s 10-pound total weight gives each piece a reassuring solidity in hand. While created primarily as a luxury display set, its proportions and stability make it surprisingly enjoyable for actual play — the perfect marriage of form and function.
This chess set has even earned a place in cinematic history, featured in the climactic final scene of X-Men: The Last Stand, where its elegance and presence perfectly matched the moment’s grandeur.
Whether showcased in a study, office, or living room, the Italfama Large Classical Oriental Solid Brass Chess Set is destined to draw admiration, spark conversation, and be treasured for generations.
