You refer to some chess pieces on your website at being 'Investment Grade' what does this mean?
Our luxury chessmen are crafted to the highest possible standards from rare and exotic woods. Some of these woods are endangered and the chessmen are made from old existing stocks of the wood, in some cases stored for over a decade. The price of these materials is sky rocketing as a result and it's widely expected that within the next ten years the export of products made from these materials will have to end due to supply issues. Collectors therefore regard finely crafted and certified original artefacts made from these woods to be good investments. Their value is certain to rise.
