From Charlemagne to Isle of Lewis to Roman-Greek
The purchase of a Canadian made theme chess set from ChessBaron is a purchase of distinction. An ornament is just an ornament - a chess set with some historical theme such as Charlemagne or Isle of Lewis is much more. A purchaser clearly needs something more thought provoking than a china plate ornament, something that recalls some important theme, some history changing event like the Roman-Greek War chess set.
