Made to order – Chess set, Lewis No.1 design in a stone and aged red colour. BOARD NOT INCULDED

This beautiful, hand made, talking point chess set, based on the Isle of Lewis No.1 design as seen in the British Museum, is a great alternative to the traditional Staunton style of chess set. The back of the throne on the king and queen have a wonderfully detailed carving to them.

A good sized set with the tallest figure, the king, standing at 3.75" (9.5cm) with a 2" (5cm) base, while the shortest, the pawn, stands at 1.5" (4cm) with a 0.75" (2cm) base. The whole set (all 32 pieces) weighs in at approx 1.6KG.

PLEASE NOTE: There is no board with this set, see our listings for available boards.
Please message us before placing your order if you have any specific requirements for your board.
Due to the size of the base on the king, the minimum size board square for this chess set is 2.5" (60mm) squared board and would be our recommendation.

The set is cast in a hard and durable stone casting powder, giving each piece beautiful detail and definition. The hand colouring and finishing, using a method passed down through the family, ensures durablity and quality; futher enhancing the details. Each piece is completed with a felt base ensuring that your board does not become scratched.

Although this set is beautifully decorative, it is very durable and is intended to be used and enjoyed as much as displayed.

The colours for these pieces are a stone for the light and an aged red for the dark.

Each piece is hand coloured and takes the colours and finish differently, so please beware that there will be slight variations between pieces.

Total weight 1.6KG, so postage will represent that. If you wish to make alternative arrangements for postage or collection please contact us.
