The market for rare, complete chess sets and similar games is limited, but when they do come up for auction the prices are often very high.Puppies For Sale Near Bucks County Pa Get money news by email The market for rare, complete chess sets and similar games is limited, but when they do come up for auction the prices are often very high. A recent sale of classic games featured some great examples...and some equally impressive prices. Chess as a game was already being played four thousand years ago. The European game is based on an Indian version dating back to the 7th Century. The most desirable chess sets today are from the mid to late 19th Century when the game was very popular. Yet just a few years ago, a single Islamic chess piece sold for more than £800,000. A SUPERB Russian mammoth ivory chess set (above) was the top lot at a chess, playing cards and games auction at Bonhams in ­Knightsbridge, London, earlier this month.

The intricately-carved set was highly sought after and eventually sold for £19,000 – more than nine times the original estimate. Another gem was a very rare, 300- year-old South German, ivory and ebony figural chess set which sold for £16,500. And a jade mahjong set made in China around 1920 and which once belonged to Queen Elisabeth of Greece sold for £9,000. One of the more unusual sale items was The Game of War, an intricate 600-piece lot dating back to 1890. It was designed to train British army officers in the art of combat in the time of uncertainty leading up to the outbreak of the First World War in 1914. It sold for £4,000, four times its pre-sale estimate. EMI starts at 328.69 per month. Click here to read EMI FAQs. Delivery to pincode 400001 - Mumbai within 3 - 6 business days.

Collectable Chess Sets have been distinguished by both design and materials – namely fine dense hardwoods such as ebony, rosewood and red sandalwood. Some of these hardwoods are restricted from export by countries that have chosen to preserve their limited supplies. Exotic woods such as ebony can take up to 100 years for the tree to reach full maturation. The government of Brazil has placed a ban on the export of their rosewood stock. This wood was previously used in the crafting of musical instruments – renowned both for its aesthetically pleasing finish and its resonant tonal qualities..The government of India has restricted the export of all raw ebony and rosewood.

The export of such finished products is allowed, but there may soon come a day that an outright ban is imposed. As a result of restricted supply, the world’s premier crafters of wooden chess pieces have stocked many years supply of these exotic woods. It is reasonable to conclude that an investment in a chess set crafted of fine woods is an excellent decision.

The fact is that many of our customers prefer their sets for display rather than to be use in games. Like a fine musical instrument, a vintage luxury automobile, or a first edition classic book, the luxury chess set is to be admired. Plenty of Regency Chess sets have been purchased by individuals who only have a rudimentary understanding of the game, if any at all. In fact, these are our typical customer for luxury sets – those who wish to see the set as a design accessory or a conversation piece. When you see our finely crafted pieces of fine hardwoods it is quite simple to understand why they are strictly on display. In particular, the expertise with which the knights are designed, hand carved, and finished make them the hallmark pieces in the set. As you can see, we also sell a larger version of the knights to be used as fine paperweights – that look especially classy on a fine wooden executive desk. Whether it be with a fine glass of port, your favourite cigar, or in the company of a connoisseur, we implore you to play a game or two on these luxurious heirloom sets – as life is simply too short to deny oneself such a luxury!
