Introducing the renowned ‘Isle of Lewis II’ chess pieces, beautifully crafted in harmonious brown and ivory tones. Crafted from resilient Stone crushed Poly Resin, a durable stone-based compound, and adorned with a striking Russet Brown stain. These pieces bear the mark of Berkeley Chess, a distinguished British chess manufacturer celebrated for its excellence, based in Somerset, England. Diving into history, these pieces pay homage to the original Isle of Lewis chess men, hailing from 1831 when walrus ivory and whales’ teeth were discovered in Uig on the Isle of Lewis. This chess piece set encapsulates the cultural and political ties between the kingdoms of the British Isles and Scandinavia during the middle ages. Berkeley Chess has skilfully reimagined this historical treasure, allowing you to relive its iconic legacy.

FAQ

Most frequent questions and answers

We are a family business that focus strictly around customer service and ensuring our customers have a fantastic all round experience. We are also the largest store selling both Chess and Backgammon sets of great variations.

A common question that confuses many, infact there is no official provider of staunton chess pieces. These chess pieces are named after a gentleman, Howard Staunton who put forward a design of chess pieces made with precision and weight to prevent them toppling over. Staunton chess pieces are all manufactured by skilled craftsmen in Amritsar, India.

This is the official Chessgammon store, we are also present on eBay, Amazon and ETSY. However purchasing from the incorrect listing will mean you may be purchasing from a 3rd party dropshipper. This makes it incredibly difficult for you to arrange replacements/ complain about any potential damages.
