a vintage chess set highly detailed and inspired by chinese royalty and warriors
10 July 2025
Description

This is a vintage chess set in an Oriental or Asian emperor theme. The pieces appear to be molded from a material that resembles ivory — possibly real ivory. The surface is smooth and slightly yellowed, with some aging effects visible. The set includes both black/red and white/cream-colored pieces, each with detailed carvings and paintwork. I am not certain of the exact material, but it does not appear to be plastic, and if examined carefully then marks of schreger lines can be seen. I am seeking an appraisal to help determine the material, age, and value of this set.
