This beautiful chess set includes Italfama's Silhouette Knight brass chess set with their Faux Leather Chess Board and Storage Tray. This exquisite chess set from the designers at Italfama blends contemporary and traditional Staunton features to form a chess set that is not only decorative but an excellent set for playing a game of chess. The pieces combine solid brass with a walnut stained and natural hornbeam wood. The white pieces are nickel plated. The knight is a simple silhouette cutout of brass while the other pieces feature a robust profile with graceful curves. The king is 3.5 tall and has a base diameter of 1.1. The complete set weighs over 7 pounds so you know the pieces are heavy. Handcrafted by the skilled craftsmen at Italfama in Italy, this luxurious faux leather chess board and tray is the perfect solution for both playing chess and then storing the pieces when you don't want them sitting out. The sides of the storage tray have an attractive stamped leather pattern adding to the realistic look of a hand-tooled leather case. The board has an elegant black decorative design around the outside and a stitched ribbing edge. On the flipside of the chess board you will find a backgammon board and plastic checkers, dice, and doubling cube are included. Inside there are 32 felt lined compartments for storing chess pieces and two compartments for the plastic checkers. Together, this board and storage tray offers a unique and practical choice beyond the standard chess board.Chess Pieces: King Height: 3.5; King Base: 1 ; Material: Wood & Brass ; Chess Set Weight: 5 lbs. ; Felt Pads ; Comes packaged in Italfama green and gold fancy cardboard box.; Chess Case: Material: Faux Leather; Square Size: 2; Overall Dimensions: 19 x 19 x 2.25; Backgammon Board on Flipside of Chess Board; 32 Felt Lined Compartments for Chess Pieces; Includes 30 Plastic Backgammon Chips; Made in Italy;
