PREMIER COLLECTION: FLORENTINE SERIES - EBONY

Florence is the capital city of the region of Tuscany, Italy. From 1865 to 1870 the city was also the capital of the Kingdom of Italy. A center of medieval European trade and finance, the city is often considered the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance. Florence is also famous for its magnificent art and architecture. The surge in artistic, literary, and scientific investigation that occurred in Florence during the 14th - 16th century is what has inspired craftsmanship for this Florentine set.

The Florentine Series from our Premier Collection is Crafted from Ebony and Boxwood. Ebony is one of the most intensely black, fine-grained woods known, which, combined with its very high density (it is one of the very few woods that sink in water), fine texture, and ability to polish very smoothly, has made it very valuable as an ornamental wood. The King stands 4" tall with a 1 5/8" base. From the unique King to the exquisite Knight, these pieces are sure to catch the eye.

These pieces fit well on a board with 2.25 - 2.5" squares. Please view our "Items of Interest" below for recommended boards (sold separately).
