Description
Antique (I think) chess set of Asian origin. Was an inheritance and I'm trying to figure out whether the fact that I literally cannot find anything exactly like it anywhere is a sign of rarity or obscurity. I want to sell it, but I would like to have some idea of its true value before I embark on getting it sold.
Thanks
Re: Carved Ivory chess set
I sold the exact same set and the pieces fit into fitted slots inside the chess board. My set was missing a piece but a very skilled craftsman hand carved a matching piece (out of bone I think so the color was slightly off) long before I got it. I sold my set in an antique mall for $500 but it sat for about 6 months before it sold. This was probably 5 years ago. However, now it is illegal to sell ivory so it may be more difficult to find a buyer.
