Description from the seller
The mysteries of chess on the Isle of Lewis are still many, and perhaps they will remain so forever, guarded silently by valiant kings, reflective queens, and blessing bishops.
Give a piece of history this Christmas!
Imagine discovering under the tree a thematic chess set that brings to mind the enchantment of the famous Lewis Chessmen.
The Lewis Island chess pieces are a famous set of medieval chess pieces carved from walrus ivory and whale tooth. They were discovered in 1831 on Lewis Island, which is part of the Outer Hebrides archipelago in Scotland.
Each piece of this extraordinary set is carefully sculpted, featuring figures with expressive faces and ornate costumes that evoke medieval charm.
Consisting of 32 pieces, with sixteen elegant pieces for each faction, this set is perfect for chess and history enthusiasts.
Preserved in a refined wooden box lined with soft peach-colored satin fabric, each set becomes a unique experience of play and beauty.
Not just a simple game, but a true collectible item, inspired by cultural artifacts of priceless value, displayed in museums around the world.
Bring the magic of the holidays into your home and surprise your loved ones with a gift that combines tradition and elegance.
