Beautifully detailed Roman vs Arab themed chess set by Italfama, featuring unique historical designs and paired with a Spanish walnut and maple board.

The detail in the pieces is outstanding in these historical figures. The Arab force is led by a strong king clad in body armour and a turban. The queen's robe and crown are so precise in detail. The bishop and pawns are handsomely clothed in the costume of that period, with an Arab-looking castle for a rook. The most eye-catching piece in this set, however, is the Arab knights - a soldier upon a camel instead of the usual portrayal of a horse.

The Roman king is every inch a majestic ruler, in his detailed body armour and cloak, with his beautiful queen looking radiant in her flowing gown. A centurion-type character represents the bishop with the knight, as is the norm, a beautifully detailed horse and rider. A romanesque structure stands as the rook with pawns as chain-mail clad infantry.

We have matched these stunning pieces with a beautiful walnut and maple chessboard from Spain; however, the Romans vs Arabs Themed Chessmen are also available on their own. Either way, they make a superb gift.
