The Turin Chessmen are a uniquely artisanal version of the traditional Staunton chess pieces. Delicately shaped by Italian craftsmen, these solid brass and nickel-plated chessmen are ideal for decorative or practical use.

The knights, perhaps, offer the best example of the attention to detail honoured within this set, boasting as they do painstaking touches of craftsmanship. Every other piece on the board enjoys the exactly the same level of attention even down to each and every base being covered with a luxury black and gold branded felt base to protect your board whilst in play. Although it is this commitment that can sometimes overlooked, this is what defines the uncompromising quality of the Turin Metal Chessmen.

Gloss boards will highlight the close detail and expert finish of the Turin Metal Chessmen, while a playing surface of around 14-15 inches comes recommended by the Regency Chess team. We have however matched this set of pieces with another luxury product from Italfama, their lovely little leatherette chess cabinet. The pieces are available in both colour versions of this board so take your pick from black and gold or green and gold.
