Handmade Angels and Demons chess pieces

Decorative Chess has always been a symbol of elitism. Today, the beautiful, hand-painted Italfama chess sets reference tradition on one side, and highlight the modern character of Italian chess on the other. This makes Italfama's hand-painted chess sets an excellent decorative element in both traditional and more contemporary interiors of living rooms, dining rooms, or offices. The chess pieces are cast from resin and then hand-painted.

Chess is a game known worldwide, across 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 generally accepted that the creators of today’s rules are the Persians. The word chess is derived from the Persian shah (king), and phonetically, checkmate means “the king is surrounded” in Persian.

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 growth, it has won the hearts of many chess enthusiasts around the world.

Italfama is renowned for using only high-quality materials:

• boxwood, rhodonite 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 through generations.
• Hand-painted resin chess sets 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 the harmonization of 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 styled in French, Oriental, or English styles, they can combine tradition with modernity.
