Stunning British vs Zulu themed chess set by Italfama, featuring finely detailed pieces and a 40 cm Spanish walnut and maple board – a standout historical gift.

Italfama have amazed us again with their beautiful British v Zulu Chess Men. Every single piece is so beautifully crafted and ornate. The Zulu King, Cetswayo, in his tribal gowns, is every inch a regal commander, whilst Lord Chelmsford and his wife Adria make an elegant British military couple.

The Zulu pieces are very striking in their detail. The majestic queen with her flowing robes and urn, the all-knowing ‘bishop' with his cattle skull right through to the pawns and their beautifully decorated shields. Portraying the Zulu rooks as dwelling huts is pure brilliance.

Nobly adorned in their red and white uniforms, the British Military are armed with pistols or bayonet firearms. A Union Jack flying proudly above a cannon depicts the rooks.

We have matched these chessmen with a beautiful 40 cm walnut and maple board from Spain to give you this enviable set, but the British v Zulus Chessmen are also available without a board.
