Offered is a beautifully designed and intricately detailed set of

Isle of Lewis Chess Pieces

Eilean Leòdhais

As with all of our chess sets, this is a complete 32 Piece set.
We don't show all of the pieces in the picture because then
it gets too crowded and you can not see the magnificent detail.

In a rather strange geographic quirk,
The Isle of Lewis refers to only half of the largest island of the Outer Hebrides
which are the Western Isles of Scotland.
The other half of the island is called the Isle of Harris.

Made of a cold cast polyresin with 3 1/2" tall Kings
This set is best played on a board with 2" or larger squares.

This set is a reproduction of the chess set on display in the British Museum
believed to have been made in Norway in the 12th Century
when the Outer Hebrides were under Norwegian rule.

Having been made long before current chess standards were established,
there are a couple of interesting differences between this set and a modern set.

Where normally the Rook is a castle or some other structure,
in this case they are portrayed as Norse Warriors known as Berserkers
who typically fought in an uncontrolled rage.

The pawns which are typically represented as "foot soldiers" are presented here as carved gravestones.

"Fun" and "Learning"
do not have to be mutually exclusive.

This is such a beautiful set that, even when you are not playing,
it deserves to be left out just to show the world

"Hey, look what I got !!!"

This set is brand new, has never been used and comes in its own high style Fully Decorated Box
so
If not for yourself, then the perfect gift.

Each Chess set is
$ 99.95
