Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

During the nineteenth century, chess sets carved from bone were produced extensively across Britain and India, frequently featuring one side dyed red with cochineal to distinguish opposing players.

These sets were typically crafted using turned and carved bovine bone for the playing pieces, alongside folding wooden playing boards featuring inlaid timber veneers.

Authentic period bone pieces display visible grain structure, subtle hand-carving variations, concentric circular turning marks on the bases, and historical wear to the red dye.

Positioning a wooden chess set atop a coffee table, desk, or open shelving adds texture and historical character within classic or dark academia design schemes.

Keep bone pieces away from direct heat and direct sunlight to prevent cracking or fading of the red dye, dusting gently with a dry soft brush.
