The Antique Ivory Chess Set - rare and beautifulAn Antique Ivory chess set is very valuable. These rare chess sets were made from ivory in the past, many centuries ago. They have a different form than modern day chess pieces as they reflect a different culture. Some are from the 7th and 8th centuries. The teeth and tusks of the elephant, hippopotamus, mammoth and walrus are made of ivory.  Nathaniel Cook and John Jaques created the first ivory set of Staunton chess pieces in the 19th century. The Staunton style became the standard. The Mammoth Ivory Collector Series Luxury Chess Set - 4.4" King  "Crafted from 40,000-year old Wooly Mammoth Ivory with the exquisite design and proportions of the original Staunton pattern Chess set, registered by Nathaniel Cook and produced by Jaques of London in 1849."
