Sea Life Camel bone Chess Set
Sea Life Camel bone Chess Set

What could be deemed as a marine biologist's dream chess set this hand carved in camel bone, this 32 piece set has a combination of pieces in deep blue and ivory color white. We are told it takes two months for each set to be made by a single artisan in India.

The Sea Life Chess Set: This pictures shows the lineup of the coral pieces.

The King height is 5 1/4" and has a base diameter of 1 3/4 with felt pads. We recommend a board size with minimum 2" squares such as that shown. Here's a picture showing the Kings and Queens of both sides:

The Kings and Queens of the Sealife chess set, individually hand-carved in camel bone.

This set of 32 pieces is supplied without the board shown which is typical for a collector set like this.

 

 The mussel shell chessboard shown here is hand made from mussel shells.

The natural mussel chessboard measuring 23" x 23" with 2 1/8" squares may be purchased separately as the option shown. Please also note that the picture shows a typical set and being entirely hand made there may be slight color and carving variation in the set that we ship.

This looks very similar to an mid-eighteen century Italian Piscian set in John Keat's An Illustrated Guide to World Chess Pieces (p. 157). The king is Neptune, Queen a delightful mermaid, bishop a salmon, knight a seahorse, pawn a fish. It is reproduced here out of camel bone and rather than the original ivory and so has less detail. Still this is a good rendering of an historic set. In other historic examples, it may be interesting to note (or not) that knights are represented as seahorses in otherwise non-marine themes.

Totally Awesome!! Wonderful set - love the detail and color. Beautiful all the way around. I also appreciate the wonderful packing job - everything was very well padded and protected. Many thanks Steve!!
