This compact Staunton-style chess set from Italfama offers the elegance of Italian craftsmanship in a size perfect for travel, analysis, or smaller spaces. Standing just 1.875″ tall, the king and his court are cast from solid metal using the centuries-old lost wax casting method. Each piece is then brass and nickel plated, polished to a lustrous finish, and sealed with multiple layers of lacquer to preserve its shine for years.
The surface of each piece features a finely detailed Arabesque pattern, a nod to classic Italian design motifs that adds sophistication and depth. Whether you’re playing a quick game at your desk or displaying it as a miniature work of art, this set delivers style, history, and practicality in one.

Staunton metal chess pieces—Italian
I like the pieces- the details and size—but I wish the colors of the metals steel and brass were more distinctive. In low light or evening it’s difficult to tell which is “white”, which is “black”. The photo is much clearer than the actual pieces.
