Description

Two contrasting elements have become the inspiration for the next collection cast in resin and hand-painted by the Italian manufacturer Italfama. The beautiful style of the 'Water and Fire' set references a fairy-tale world and mythical gods.

The History of Chess

Chess is a game known worldwide, in every culture and civilization. It originated 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 were the Persians. The word 'chess' is derived from the Persian word for 'king,' and phonetically, 'checkmate' means 'the king is surrounded' in Persian.

Chess made from the highest quality materials

Handcrafted chess pieces are a specialty of the Italian manufacturer Italfama. This family-run company has been creating chess sets for the most demanding players and collectors for several decades. Over this period, 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 sets will perfectly complement Italfama's wooden boards

The growing interest in chess, which for centuries was an elitist game, and the emergence of international competitions, required standardization or at least similarity in the appearance of chess pieces. The conventions established at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries now have variations in the form of pieces made from unusual materials. Additionally, Italfama allows itself to break conventions — in sets in French, Oriental, or English styles, they can combine tradition with modernity.

A jewel among these chess collections are sets inspired by history and fairy tales.
