Questions About Vintage Chess Pieces
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    Boxwood is often used for chest pieces due to the properties of the wood. While it is a hard, dense wood that can hold up to wear and tear, boxwood is also simple to turn and carve, so it can be easily shaped into pawns, rooks and other pieces. In addition, the light color works well with white paint. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of chess sets.

    Louis Vuitton began using date codes for their products in the early 1980s, so the absence of a date code is an indication that your piece is vintage. However, it’s important to ensure that your bag isn’t merely a fake that’s missing the date code. Check all aspects of the craftsmanship and material quality of your bag to confirm its authenticity. Shop a collection of expertly-vetted vintage and contemporary Louis Vuitton clothing and accessories on 1stDibs .
