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

Introducing the exquisite ‘Isle of Lewis Chess Set’—crafted with finesse from solid Walnut and enriched with wood inlays, a testament to the mastery of Turkish artists and the influence of Moorish geometry. Each piece is the result of intricate wood working cuts, scores, and shapes, meticulously assembled by skilled hands. This Isle of Lewis Chess set isn’t just a chess board; it’s a cherished keepsake, a heartfelt gift, or a captivating addition to any collection. The vivacious colours of every piece, meticulously fitted with precision by seasoned craftsmen, exude an irresistible charm. Safeguarded within a luxurious walnut storage compartment, lined with sumptuous black felt, these remarkable pieces find a comfortable home.

Behold the celebrated ‘Isle of Lewis II’ chess pieces, resplendent in striking red and ivory hues. Fashioned from Stone crushed Poly Resin—a remarkably robust stone-based compound—these pieces are stained in Cardinal Red, rendering them both durable and captivating. These exceptional creations are the handiwork of Berkeley Chess, a distinguished British chess manufacturer hailing from Somerset, England. Renowned as one of the foremost brands in the chess market, Berkeley Chess has meticulously crafted this Isle of Lewis Chess set to pay homage to the original Isle of Lewis chess men. Discovered in Uig on the Isle of Lewis in 1831, these pieces were fashioned from walrus ivory and whales’ teeth. This particular Isle of Lewis chess set commemorates the intricate cultural and political ties that once bound the realms of the British Isles and Scandinavia during the medieval era. Berkeley Chess, with their meticulous expertise, has reimagined this historic treasure discovered in the 19th century, offering you the chance 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.
