Mao Zedong (Tse-Tung) was a Chinese politician, communist leader, head of the political bureau since 1943, and Chairman of the Political Committee of the Communist Party of China. To this day, his figure remains controversial – some perceive him as a revolutionary, others criticize him, among other things, for cooling political relations with Russia (USSR). He was so controversial that after his death, his way of political and economic governance of China was changed.
Elite Chess Game
Decorative chess sets have always been a symbol of elitism. Today, the beautiful, hand-painted chess sets by Italfama refer to tradition on one hand, and emphasize the modern character of Italian chess on the other.
Chess is a game known worldwide, in every culture and civilization. It was created around the 5th-6th century AD, most likely in India, although there are hypotheses about its origins in China. It is believed that the creators of the modern rules of the game are Persians. The word "chess" comes from Persian, where "shah mat" means "the king is surrounded".
Chess made from the highest quality materials
Luxury chess sets are a specialty of the Italian manufactory Italfama. This family business has been creating chess sets for the most demanding players and collectors for several decades. During this period of the company's development, it has won the hearts of many chess enthusiasts around the world.
Italfama is known for using only high-quality materials:
- boxwood, rhododendron wood known for its incredible grain, rosewood, bronze, alabaster, and even onyx, silver, and gold!
- Italfama's artisans combine these materials with excellent craftsmanship, creating chess accessories that can be passed down from generation to generation.
- Hand-painted resin chess pieces will perfectly complement Italfama's wooden boards
The growing interest in chess, which for centuries was an entirely elitist game, and the emergence of international competitions, required standardization, or at least similarity, of the appearance of chess pieces. The conventions established at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries now have their variations in the form of pieces made from unusual materials. Moreover, Italfama sometimes breaks conventions – in sets in French, Oriental, or English styles, they can combine tradition with modernity.
