The manufacturer employs the most experienced master craftsmen with extensive knowledge of artisanal craft. A long period of learning has taught the brand to design the most luxurious chess sets imaginable.

               Amritsar Ivory Works was established with the motive of producing ivory lamps, statues, and chess sets under the guidance of Shiv Dyal Sharma in 1962. After a few years, the company was inherited by Mr. Rajesh Sharma (son of Mr. Shiv Dyal Sharma), who was an athlete and a national volleyball player. With his understanding and enthusiasm for creating wonders in sports products, he began designing revolutionary models of chess products in wood after the complete ban on ivory use at a young age and started selling them to many exporters in India. After long struggles, Mr. Rajesh Sharma connected with Mr. Dennis Peterson, owner of Legend Products in the USA during 1991-1992. Mr. Dennis was greatly impressed by the quality of the magnificent craftsmanship of Amritsar Ivory Works under the leadership of Mr. Rajesh Sharma. Subsequently, both companies launched the Pioneer Series and Monarch Series in the chess market, which became a huge success due to the good sales of chess sets produced in Boxwood/Ebony and was a deservedly recognized step in the international chess industry market.

               In 1994, Rajesh Sharma and Frank A. Camarrata, Jr (House of Staunton, USA) collaborated to make another revolution in the history of the chess industry. Frank A. Camarrata was deeply contemplative when dealing with many failed attempts to design the Collector Series chess sets by many other chess manufacturers and suppliers. But when Rajesh Sharma showcased his skills on the collector's chess set design, Frank Camarrata was mesmerized by the result of excellence developed by Rajesh Sharma (Amritsar Ivory Works). HOS immediately began collaborating mainly with Amritsar Ivory Works. Rajesh Sharma introduced and executed hundreds of his creations in stylish chess designs in various sizes and wood combinations, such as the Sultan Series, Sheffield Series, Empire Series, Centurion Series, Classic Staunton, Morphy Series, Player Series, Professional Series, and many others.

               Mr. Rajesh Sharma, due to certain health issues, retired from active business in 2008, and now his two sons; Gaurav Sharma and Rishi Sharma (the third generation of the family) have taken on the task of handling all business matters, including designing and creating the best craftsmanship on the finest chess products. They have introduced several designs, such as The Alexander Stallion, Victoria Castle Series, The Kohinoor Series, Saint John Series, Cambridge Series, and many others under the brand The Chess Empire. The Chess Empire also performs all reproductions for Jaques of London. (An established and globally recognized chess company in the chess industry).
