Handmade Pearl Harbor chess pieces

Pearl Harbor in Hawaii is one of the most important military bases of the United States. In 1941, this location was attacked by a Japanese raid, which marked the beginning of the Pacific War. The attack is remembered in history not only as a historical event. Based on the facts, the film "Pear Harbor" was made, directed by Michael Bay.

History of chess

Decorative chess sets have always been symbols of elitism. Today, beautiful, hand-painted Italfama chess sets, on one hand, refer to tradition, and on the other, emphasize the modern character of Italian chess.

Chess is a game known worldwide, in 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 believed that the creators of today's rules of the game are Persians. The word "checkmate" comes from Persian, where "shah mat" means "the king is surrounded".

Chess made from the highest quality materials

Handcrafted chess pieces 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 development, it has won the hearts of many chess enthusiasts around the world.

Italfama is known for using only high-quality materials:

• boxwood, rhodonite 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 entirely elitist game, and the emergence of international competitions, required standardization, or at least similarity, of 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 figures 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.

A jewel among these chess collections is the chess set inspired by history.
