A lovely Lewis Chessmen Chess set featuring an attractive brown colored Resin box with a removable lid. The Isle of Lewis chess set is one of the most recognizable and beloved chess set designs, only second to the Staunton design. The Isle of Lewis chess pieces were first discovered on the Isle of Lewis, in the early 19th century. The set is believed to date back to the 12th century and to be of a Norwegian origin.
The Isle of Lewis chess set is characterized by its intricately carved figurines, which include kings, queens, bishops, knights, rooks, and pawns, each with distinctive features and expressions. Our Lewis chessmen, although smaller than the original, also have distinctive facial expressions.
This set features a brown-colored resin box that keeps your pieces safe. The removable lid cleverly doubles as the chessboard, offering convenient storage and setup with a simple flip.
Add elegance to your home with this Isle of Lewis Style Chess set that includes a stylish chess board. These highly collectible pieces conjure ancient tales and the mystery of the Isle of Lewis figures found in ancient Scotland islands. Initially individually sculpted, each piece is then cast in polystone stone and polished to an enviable finish as part of an heirloom collection. The pieces measure approximately 3 inches high, and the board measures 12.5 inches square. It's a great gift for archaeology and history buffs.
