This miniture  Isle of Lewis chess set is a very genuine replica of the original chess set pieces which were discovered on the world famous Isle of Lewis off the West Coast of Scotland. These are now housed safely and securely at the Museum of London and Edinburgh. Because of the involvement of the British Museum in developing the moulds for these chessmen, this is certainly the closest reproduction of the historic Lewis chessmen available any where today. Originally discovered on the Isle of Lewis around 1170, they are thought to be  of Scandinavian origin.

These Isle of Lewis chess pieces in this chess set are finished in Chocolate and Milk Brown Brown with an antique ivory finish and the set is made from a composite of crushed stone and resin, which makes for the look and feel of stone, while exhibiting the durability of a composite.

The chess pieces in this miniture chess set are still entirely hand crafted and the skills learned over many years have been refined and brought to perfection to produce these highly original chess pieces that are intricate and very decorative.
