This beautiful European chess set combines Italfama's Classic Persian Staunton solid brass chess pieces from Italy matched with Rechapados Ferrer's Blue Ash Burl and Whitened Bird's Eye Maple chess board from Spain. These elegant chess pieces are turned from solid brass and have a traditional Staunton design with graceful curves and shapes. The knight is beautifully sculpted with fine detail including the mane, ears, eyes, and mouth. This is small set with a 2.75" king and a base diameter of 1" but perfectly suitable for a game of chess at home.

The blue ash burl and erable chess board creates a stunning backdrop against the bright gold and silver color of the brass and nickel plated chess pieces. The natural wood grain of the ash burl creates a range of rich blue colors that softly swirl and intermingle creating unique and colorful patterns. The white squares are whitened bird's-eye maple that contrasts nicely with the dark blue squares. The board is finished in high gloss polyurethane that produces a glass-like finish reflecting the color of the metal chess pieces. These unique metal chess pieces from Italy matched with this luxurious chess board from Spain create a very special chess set that will enhance every game you play and look stunning displayed in your home.
