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 hand-painted Italfama chess sets an excellent decorative element in both traditional and 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 chess is derived from the Persian shah meaning 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 manufacturer Italfama. This family-owned 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 skillfully combine these materials to create 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 similarity in 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. Additionally, Italfama sometimes breaks conventions — in sets styled in French, Oriental, or English styles, they manage to combine tradition with modernity.
