This beautiful little chess set comes from the world-renowned Italfama workshop in Florence, Italy. The compact Staunton-style pieces offer the elegance of Italian craftsmanship in a size perfect for travel, analysis, or smaller spaces such as on a desk. The richly plated brass and nickel pieces are cast from solid metal using the centuries-old lost wax and are adorned with a finely detailed Arabesque pattern, a nod to classic Italian design motifs that adds sophistication and depth. The pieces are sealed with lacquer to preserve their shine for years to come.
The luxury elm root and maple chess board is one of their finest works featuring rich brown and warm orange grain patterns that swirl together in one-of-a-kind designs—no two boards are ever alike. The Maple squares provide a beautiful contrast next to the elm burl, while a wide black inlay sharply defines the chess board and enhances its visual depth. The extra-wide frame adds balance and a refined finish.
