• Beautifully ornate.

Italfama never cease to amaze with their incredible attention to detail. Every single piece in this set is so beautifully ornate. Lord Chelmsford and his wife Adria make an elegant British military couple, whilst the Zulu King, Cetswayo, in his tribal gowns, is a fierce-looking opponent.

The British Military, proudly adorned in their red and white uniforms, are brandishing pistols and bayonet firearms. The rooks take the form of cannons with the Union Flag flying proudly above.

The tribesmen, too, are very striking in their detail. The Zulu queen with her flowing robes and urn, the bishop with his cattle skull right through to the pawns and their beautifully decorated shields. Using the dwelling huts as the Zulu rooks is a creative genius.

These pieces sit well on a 40 cm board and we have matched them with a beautiful 40 cm walnut and maple board from Spain to give you The British v Zulus Chess Set.
