The Pirates Vs Navy Hand-Painted Themed Chess Set by Italfama

8.3 cm king. Superb detailing. Pieces presented in gift packaging. 40 cm walnut and maple board. Beautifully detailed Pirates vs Navy themed chess set by Italfama, paired with a 40 cm Spanish walnut and maple board – a perfect gift for chess or pirate fans. Each of these chess pieces has been crafted from crushed stone composite by the world-famous Italfama, based in Italy. The exquisite detailing progresses from the pawns depicted as British Infantry and swashbuckling deckhands through to the bishops and knights, portrayed as higher-ranking officers or pirates. The Pirate King is romantically characterised, from his peg leg to his eye patch and pet monkey. His counterpart is handsomely dressed in the traditional Naval uniform of that period, together with his fashionable wig and eyeglass. However, it is the rooks that are the most outstanding pieces in this set. Detailed hulls and billowing sails make these pieces ornaments in their own right. Atop each side's mast bears the UK standard or the Jolly Roger. We have taken these stunning pieces and matched them with the beautiful 40 cm walnut and maple chessboard from Spain to make this very enviable chess set. These Pirates vs Navy chessmen are also available without a board, but either way, they would make a superb gift for any chess enthusiast or Pirates of the Caribbean fan.
