The Florence chess pieces are among the largest designs in the collection. Broad collars, tapered stems, and ornamented upper sections give the pieces a tall, formal profile. Despite their scale, the silhouettes remain clear in play.
Handcrafted in India, the pieces are available in ebony with boxwood and padauk with boxwood. The knight is carved with depth and clear definition, while the bishop, queen, and rook have more restrained profiles. Two alternative king finials are included, allowing a subtle change in the appearance of the set.
With a king height of 4.75 in, the pieces are weighted for steady handling during play. The king base diameter is 4.9 cm (1.93 in), and the pawn base diameter is 3.9 cm (1.54 in). These proportions suit 6.0 cm (2.36 in) squares well.
For a complete set, pair them with one of our large chess boards. Both the Toscana and Asturias are sized for these proportions: Toscana’s matt elm-root surface gives the pieces a warmer, more traditional setting, while Asturias creates a sharper contrast with its near-black and pale squares.

The pieces are exquisitely made. I cannot say enough about how beautifully they are in design and in craftsmanship. They are a marvel to behold. The knight is stunning. Indeed, they all are gorgeous. The chess pieces are augmented with alternative tops for the kings and two additional queens for those occasions when a pawn transforms into a queen. They are beautifully designed and sculpted and flawless. I love looking at them.
