Chess Crusades against the Turks

Crusades Against the Turks Chess

Italfama often draws inspiration from history. This unique, hand-painted chess set was created in reference to crusades against the Turks. These were three military campaigns declared by the Pope himself to fight the Ottoman Empire, such as the campaign to Varna in 1444.

Decorative Chess have always been symbols of elitism. Today, the beautifully hand-painted Italfama chess sets both honor tradition and highlight the modern character of Italian chess design. This makes the hand-painted Italfama chess sets an excellent decorative element in both traditional and contemporary interiors of living rooms, dining rooms, or offices. The chess pieces are cast from resin and then hand-painted.

High-Quality Chess

Italfama - a family business specializing in the creation of luxury chess sets, primarily handcrafted, producing chess sets for the most demanding players and collectors for several decades. Over this period, the company has won the hearts of many chess enthusiasts worldwide.

Italfama is known for using only high-quality materials:

• beech wood, boxwood known for its incredible grain, rosewood, bronze, alabaster, and even onyx, silver, and gold!
• Artists at Italfama skillfully combine these materials to create chess accessories that can be passed down through generations.
  
• Hand-painted resin chess pieces will perfectly complement Italfama’s wooden chessboards

The growing interest in chess, which for centuries was an elitist game, and the emergence of international competitions, has necessitated standardization, or at least similarity, in the appearance of chess pieces. The conventions established in the late 18th and early 19th centuries now have variations in the form of pieces made from unusual materials. Additionally, Italfama sometimes breaks conventions — in sets styled in French, Oriental, or English styles, they manage to combine tradition with modernity.
