• Beautifully ornate.
• 3.3-inch king.
• Ideal for a 16-inch chess board.
• Superb quality and detail.

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

The British military, proudly adorned in red and white uniforms, brandish pistols and bayonets. The rooks take the form of cannons with the Union Flag flying proudly above.

The tribesmen, too, are very striking in their detail. From the Zulu Queen with her flowing robes and urn, to 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 stroke of creative genius.

These chess pieces sit well on a 16-inch chess board, and we have matched them with a beautiful 16-inch walnut and maple chess board from Spain to give you The British v Zulus Chess Set.
