AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A precious vintage Finnesburg chess set, never used, crafted from solid brass and nickel-plated by Italian artisans of the leading company Italfama.
The Finnesburg pieces are an artisanal reinterpretation of the classic Staunton design: unlike traditional Staunton designs, which are minimalist and standardized to facilitate competitive play, the Finnesburg pieces are far more ornate and detailed. The rook in the image features the vertical engravings and the decorative crenellations distinctive to this series.
These sets are known for:
Artisanal details: Each piece, including the pedestrians, demonstrates an attention to detail that is higher than usual.
Luxury materials: They are made of brass and nickel-plated metal, which gives them weight and a sense of premium quality.
Decorative and practical use: They are equally suitable for playing as they are for use as an elegant piece of furniture.
It is a beautiful example of a luxury, collectible chess set.
The set is new, in its original packaging.
