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.
The compact sized, resin Lewis chessmen are wonderfully finished giving you a superb chess set. The King is 1 and 3/4 inch, while the board measures approximately 9 inches, making it ideal for both travel and home games. This chess set makes a wonderful gift for any chess enthusiast, as well as a history lover.
