Chess is a centuries old game. Chess pieces have evolved, both in shape and style over the centuries. Early chess pieces were often pieces of art, carved in marble, bone and ivory. Many modern chess pieces have lost this early attention to detail and style, and now are made of wood or plastic, or are simply digitally generated on an online chess app. With Kitco's handsome set of sterling silver chess pieces, we propose a return to a more elegant time, where the game of chess was played in style. Playing chess face to face requires patience and the luxury of time, and the beauty of these sterling silver chess pieces will only add to the experience.
