Chess Crusades against the Turks

Crusades Against the Turks Chess Set

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 expedition to Varna in 1444.

Decorative Chess has always been a symbol of elitism. Today, the beautiful, hand-painted Italfama chess sets on one hand reference tradition, and on the other emphasize the modern character of Italian chess. This makes the hand-painted Italfama chess sets an excellent decorative element in both traditional and more modern 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 creating luxury chess sets, almost exclusively handcrafted, for several decades, producing sets for the most demanding players and collectors. 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 beautifully complement Italfama's wooden boards

The growing interest in chess, which for centuries was an entirely elitist game, and the emergence of international competitions, has necessitated 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 sometimes breaks conventions — in sets styled in French, Oriental, or English styles, they manage to combine tradition with modernity.
