Imported from Italy, you will not find a more stunning chess set in our collection than the hand painted Renaissance from Italfama. The Renaissance is a very large and heavy chess set with a 5.5 inch tall king. The pieces are wonderfully sculpted with amazing detail depicting the royal characters of the Renaissance period including the king, queen, and bishop. The knight is a rearing horse in full barding, a castle tower the rook, and the foot soldier with shield the pawn. Pieces are made of cast zinc using the old-world lost wax casting process. Pieces are brass and nickel plated and then hand painted to accentuate the detail. Also available in an unpainted version (MS48MIT).
