A Look at Marble Chess Sets |
Addtime:2008-1-3 |
Marble is considered to be one of the great
building materials in existence. For many centuries it has been used in
the construction of buildings ranging from monuments, to temples, to
palaces. Marble is sturdy as well as beautiful and can be carved into
nearly any shape. The artist's imagination provides the only limitation
when using marble as a medium for a chess set.
Marble chess sets are also among the most
beautiful. They are expertly crafted because the pieces are carved
individually and often with extremely fine detail. Marble chess sets
can come in a variety of colors but the most common combination is
black and white. Black and tan, green and white, and red and white are
just three of the unique color combinations also available. The marble
itself looks stunning with its rich color, fine grain, and beautiful
natural swirls. Marble chess sets often look like miniature monuments.
Many people purchase marble chess sets as
decoration. They buy the set in colors that compliment the rest of the
room and leave the set displayed on a table or pedestal. This is a good
option for people looking for a unique way to show their appreciation
for chess while adding character and class to a room.
However, marble chess sets are not just for
decoration. The pieces are sturdy and heavy enough that they will not
break except under extreme conditions. Marble chess sets are weighted
to insure that the pieces are well balanced and will not fall over. The
marble chessboards are also heavy enough so they can be used outside.
Marble chess sets are beautiful as well as
functional. They look like miniature sculptures and are designed for
play as well as for their appearance. A fine marble chess set is
perfect for both decoration and regular use. £¨cn-stonenet.com£© |
