A complete departure from the classic wooden chess piece option. These pieces are designed and fabricated by professional chess artisans from Italy. They are of a solid Brass and Nickel plated Brass construction with beautifully detailed decorative embossing. The pieces are a good weight and feel nicely balanced in the player's hand and are cast and hand finished. The design is based on the classic Staunton concept, however the result is something more allegorical and detailed. The pieces are fitted with red felt pads on their underside to protect the playing surface and are presented in a special cardboard presentation box, making them the perfect gift.
Although these pieces have a small King's base diameter of about an inch, their slim, tall outline warrants a larger square size than usual. We recommend chess boards with square sizes of 1.6 inches or above, 17 or 18 inches in length.

Quality - just sheer quality. I had previously purchased another Italfama-made metal set (The Verona) series as a gift. The Finnesburg has a similar gorgeous knight and I particularly like the queen and king which are easy to distinguish in a fast game. Delighted with them. Combined with a Sheesham board which sets it all off brilliantly. Many thanks.
