Custom & Large Isle of Lewis Chess Set - Stone & Resin

Pieces only!  Board not included.

Large handmade and custom set inspired by the famous 'Isle of Lewis' chess pieces.

The original artifacts were found buried in Northern Scotland where a Viking stronghold existed during the time they were believed to have been made.  In the early 1800's, a written description of these artifacts tells us that some of the pieces were originally a dark, vivid red, believed to have been stained by soaking the ivory tusk in ox blood. 

Today 82 of the original pieces are at the British Museum in London and 11 pieces are at the Scottish National Museum in Edinburgh.

32 Playing Pieces:  Made from a mixture of stone and resign.
Approx. Weight: Collective weight of the 32 pieces is about 3 lbs.
Approx. Height of King: 4" (10cm). We recommend a board with at least 2" squares.
