Isle of Lewis Chess Set With II Ivory & Red Resin Chess Pieces 3.5 Inch and Charcoal Black Chess Board 20 Inch

Introducing the exquisite ‘Isle of Lewis II Chess Set’ – a testament to elegance and craftsmanship. This ensemble features a solid Charcoal Black Helena chess board adorned with wood inlays crafted by skilled Turkish artists, bearing the captivating influence of Moorish designs with intricate geometric patterns. Meticulous wood working has brought forth numerous delicate cuts, scores, and shapes that lend a touch of artistry to each piece. An impeccable choice as a cherished keepsake, a thoughtful gift, or a stunning addition to any chess collection. The set radiates with lively, captivating colours that accentuate every piece, all precisely and expertly assembled by masterful craftsmen.

Presenting the renowned ‘Isle of Lewis II’ chess pieces, graced in a striking red and ivory combination. Fashioned from Stone crushed Poly Resin, an incredibly robust stone-based compound, these pieces bear the rich hue of Cardinal Red. Created by Berkeley Chess, a distinguished British chess manufacturer celebrated as one of the industry’s foremost brands, hailing from Somerset, England. This Isle of Lewis Chess set pays homage to the original Isle of Lewis chess men, first conceived in 1831 using walrus ivory and whale teeth, uncovered in Uig on the Isle of Lewis. This particular Isle of Lewis chess set eloquently portrays the cultural and political ties between the British Isles and Scandinavia during the medieval era. Berkeley Chess has masterfully revived this iconic design, drawing inspiration from the 19th-century original to recreate a masterpiece for modern enthusiasts.

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.
