Carrying the spirit of the Renaissance, this set is handcrafted in Greece by Manopoulos artisans. The elegant, finely shaped gold and silver pieces are arranged on a red 36 × 36 cm metal board.
History
After the Dark Ages, Europe turned back to antiquity. Meaning "rebirth," the Renaissance was a revival of ancient Greek values in literature, philosophy, art, science, and architecture: the value of human life and the power of human intellect came to the forefront once again.
The Pieces
- King and Queen — reflect a new perspective on humans as individuals and leaders.
- Knights — show the period's growing interest in nature.
- Rooks — symbolize the revival, strength, and stability of ancient architectural knowledge.
- Pawns — elegant, delicate figures resembling lively human portrayals in Renaissance art.
It is both a game and a collectible decor item for art and history enthusiasts to adorn their interior—a valuable gift for a special occasion.
Original product from our official partner Manopoulos — handcrafted in Greece.
