From the prestigious workshop of Italfama in Florence, Italy, comes a chess set that is as refined as it is functional. This complete luxury package pairs the Large Italian Arabesque Chessmen with Italfama’s elm burl chess case, creating a masterpiece of artistry and craftsmanship designed to elevate both play and display.
The Arabesque chessmen are a striking fusion of solid metal and rich wood, blending traditional Staunton forms with elegant detailing. Each piece is expertly cast from zinc using the centuries-old lost-wax process, then plated in lustrous brass and nickel for a radiant two-tone finish. Intricate arabesque engravings adorn the metal tops, while natural and dark wood columns provide warmth, contrast, and tactile beauty. Standing at 3.9" tall, the king gives the set a commanding presence, while the 8 lbs. total weight ensures a substantial, satisfying feel.
To complete the presentation, the pieces are perfectly matched with Italfama’s elm burl chess case, which doubles as a high-end chessboard and secure storage solution. Crafted from elm burl and erable veneer with a rich high-gloss finish, the board’s warm brown-orange tones and muted wood grain are highlighted by a sleek black delimiter. A fully removable drawer reveals 32 individual compartments, lined to protect each piece. This elegant case transforms your chess set into a fine piece of furniture that will impress in any setting.
Together, the Arabesque chessmen and elm burl case form a complete package that is ideal for discerning collectors, serious players, or anyone who values Italian artistry at its finest.
