Due to its popularity, 2020 sees the creation of a red and cream version of The Regency Chess Company Official Isle of Lewis Chessmen set. This stunning set of chess pieces is hand-made in the UK to the same specifications as the well-received and loved original version normally presented in bronze and cream colours.
These chess pieces are ideal on a chess board of at least twenty inches.
The original pieces were discovered on the Isle of Lewis back in 1831 after a sandbank collapsed. A chest was revealed that contained these beautiful chess pieces. They are believed to date back to the 12th century and are likely to have been made in Norway. Some historians argue that the pieces should never have been named after the Isle of Lewis, as this is not where their origins lie. The original pieces can be seen between the British Museum in London and the National Museum Of Scotland in Edinburgh.
Each piece has its cut-out within the foam insert, keeping your chessmen perfectly presented and protected when not in use.
The set is presented in superb gift packaging and comes complete with additional queens, a cleaning cloth & chess rules.
The Isle of Lewis chessmen need little introduction - they are among the most famous and instantly recognisable sets of chess pieces in history.
The pieces are made from a crushed stone resin material for that heavy, authentic look and feel. They have been expertly polished for a smooth and satisfying finish.
This set is made in England to a very high standard using crushed stone resin, with a nice weighted feel and felted bases. *Board is not included.
