Lewis Chessmen
The Isle of Lewis Chessmen are without doubt one of the most iconic sets of chess pieces in the world today. These unique chessmen come with an exciting and interesting story attached to them and remain the source of plenty of debate. On a fateful day in 1831 a resident of the Isle of Lewis discovered a sand bank had collapsed to reveal a large chest of buried treasure. Inside the chest was ninety three carved pieces that are today known as the isle of Lewis chessmen. It is thought that these amazing pieces were carved in Norway around 1150 AD and remained buried for hundreds of years. You can now buy faithful reproductions of these beautiful chess pieces and own a unique piece of history.
