Experience the drama and grandeur of the Napoleonic era with the Italfama Napoleon Hand-Painted Chess Set, elegantly paired with the elm burl chess case. This complete luxury package combines vivid hand-painted artistry with a high-end Italian chessboard and storage solution, making it ideal for collectors, history enthusiasts, and serious players alike.
Each chess piece represents Napoleon Bonaparte, Empress Josephine, and key figures of the French army, now enhanced with carefully applied hand-painted details. Using a palette of blue, red, black, yellow, and white, Italian artisans highlight uniforms, banners, and intricate features while preserving the luxurious brass and nickel-plated bases. Cast from solid brass and nickel-plated zinc using the traditional lost-wax method, each piece offers a satisfying weight and a commanding 3.6" king height with a 1.25" base. Felted pads protect your board and allow smooth, quiet play.
The set is perfectly complemented by Italfama’s elm burl chess case, crafted from elm burl and erable veneer with a high-gloss polyurethane finish. Warm brown-orange tones with muted grain are accented by a sleek black delimiter. A fully removable drawer with 32 felt-lined compartments keeps each piece secure while doubling as a luxurious display surface and heirloom-quality furniture piece.
Together, the Napoleon hand-painted chessmen and elm burl case create a complete package that blends historical storytelling, artistic mastery, and Italian craftsmanship.
