Ivory Antique
Do you remember that I mentioned that we accidentally found the Chinese/Italian antique store in China Town, San Fransisco?. It's called Micheal. It's located at the corner of Bush and Grant and it's a serious antique store. It has so many unbelievable pieces, especially some ivory pieces and mammoth tusk pieces. Here are some that the owner allowed me to take a picture of.
Look at this antique ivory. It's one of the Chinese Kings. Its detailed carving are amazing. This piece and the Chinese queen below are my favorite. They truly show the art of carving.The Chinese queen.
The turtle carrying the book with two dragons wrapped around, it has old Chinese style writing on it.

This western style chess set made in Italy is also my favorite. It's actually a four feet square marble table with chess pieces.
