Handmade Angels and Demons chess pieces

Decorative Chess Sets have always been symbols 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 the hand-painted Italfama 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 the modern rules of the game are the Persians. The word "checkmate" comes from the Persian "shah mat," meaning "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. Over this period, the company has won the hearts of many chess enthusiasts around the world.

Italfama is renowned 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 skillfully combine these materials to create 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, have 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.
