One of the hottest items that can be found

May 22nd, 2008

One of the hottest items that can be found in auction sites today are vintage chess sets. They make a great collector’s item because of the intricate artwork and carving that craftsmen incorporate for each of the individual pieces. Pieces are generally carved from wood, but can be also sculpted from ivory or stone. Form and function combine to make a hand-carved chess set a beautiful addition to any collection or home display.
