• Exquisitely ornate.
• Painstakingly hand-painted.
• 3.25-inch king.
• Ideal for a 16-inch board.

Yet another fine example of superb craftsmanship by Italama of Italy. The detail is outstanding in these historical figures. The Roman king is every inch a commander in his detailed body armour and cloak, with his beautiful queen looking radiant in her flowing gown. The bishop is represented as a centurion-type figure, with the knight, as always, a beautifully detailed horse and rider. The rooks are portrayed as a Romanesque structure with the pawns as chain-mail-clad infantry.

The Arab force is equally detailed and beautifully ornate. The king's body armour and turban, along with the queen's robe and crown, are precisely detailed. The bishop and pawns are splendidly attired in costumes of that period, with an Arab-looking castle for a rook. The knights in this set are the most eye-catching, with a mounted soldier upon a camel instead of the usual portrayal of a horse.

We have matched these stunning pieces with a beautiful 15.75-inch walnut and maple board from Spain to give you The Romans vs Arabs Themed Chess Set. With or without a board, they make a superb gift.

Please note that as these pieces are hand-painted, there may be some inconsistencies in the level of detail and colour and therefore your pieces may be very slightly different from the images shown. Any inconsistencies, however, are minimal.
