| Description: | #959. Italfama (aka Italija).
Luxurious, Unique Chess Set made in Bronze by lost wax process technique and finished using Real 24 Karat Gold. The pieces are signed by the artist Piero Benzoni, master sculptor from Milan, Italy.
Silver side: Samurai (from the Battle of Nagashino set).
Gold side: Kremlin, Nicholas II (from the Last Tsar of Russia set).
The referenced sets were usually sold with both sided identical pieces. This set is more interesting as the two camps are different pieces, still gold vs. silver. Pieces are stored in two separate trays of a custom, compartmental, padded presentation box.
