Solid Metal Chess Sets

This is our collection of metal chess sets that include a set of metal chess pieces matched with a chess board or case. Metal chess sets are an excellent way to combine the game of chess with a beautiful piece of home decor. Our metal chess sets come from the two best chess companies in Europe; Italfama in Italy and Manopoulos in Greece. We have both traditional Staunton chess sets with many different designs and metal finishes and theme chess sets depicting various subjects and characters. When it comes to metal pieces there are two types to consider; solid brass pieces which are turned on a metal lathe and cast metal pieces made using the lost wax casting process. Solid brass pieces are much more expensive and used for traditional Staunton style pieces while theme sets can only be cast from molds. Cast pieces are most commonly made from zinc and plated with a variety of metals with brass and nickel being the most popular combination. If you are looking for a chess set that will also look beautiful displayed in your home, these beautiful metal sets are an excellent choice.
