A set of 32 metal chess pieces dating to 1970–1980, in an Italian artisanal metalwork style with Renaissance/medieval figures.
Description from the seller
The chess pieces shown in the image belong to a themed set that reproduces figures from the Renaissance or medieval period.
Here is the exact identification of each piece from left to right:
Pawn: Depicted as a half-length soldier wearing a classic knight's closed helmet.
Rook: Literally depicted as a fortified stone watch tower with battlements at the top.
Knight: Represented by the finely carved head and neck of a charger.
Bishop: Identified by the bust of a warrior or officer wearing a decorated helmet.
Queen: Depicted with detailed feminine features, hair styled in curls, and a regal crown.
King: The tallest and most important piece, characterized by a full beard, proud features, and a crown adorned with a top cross.
This elegant sculptural style is typical of Italian artisanal metalwork, such as the historic pieces made by brands like Italfama or in Florentine art collections.
