Chess Sets
The roots of modern day Chess have risen from a bed of luxury and high intelligence in the ancient world. The nobility of Persia, for example, dressed in fine linen and gold, were educated on the game from an early age. Respected elders believed that the game was tantamount with logical thought and development of the brain, while the high society of this early empire considered chess expertise a motif of excellence.
To have the game played with anything else than the finest materials was, subsequently, unthinkable. This opulent game would spread to the masses through the Islamic conquerors of Persia. From here the game, with pieces made of clay and stone, gained popularity further north through Spain and into the rest of Europe.
