Isle of Lewis Chess Set with Storage Drawers
In 1831 a collapsing sandbank on the Isle of Lewis uncovered a chest of carved chessmen. This is the replica set, startled faces and all.
"This is a beautiful set and gorgeous board, and wonderful to play." - Allison Arnold, 2026

Where can we engrave?
Most popular: the front border of the board, or the storage box.
Also possible: the side border, a corner square, or the top of the rooks.
Every set is different. We'll confirm what suits yours when we send your proof.
The underside usually can't be engraved. Most boards and pieces are covered in felt there.

The Lewis chessmen are the most famous chess pieces in the world, carved in Norway in the twelfth century and kept in the British Museum. This set is a replica in moulded resin, cream and dark brown, down to the glum kings and the queens with a hand to the cheek. The board is Dal Rossi, walnut look, with a drawer on each side for the pieces.
- Double weighted, so each piece feels solid and stays put
- A full-size board, with room for the tall kings and queens
- A decorative border around the playing squares
Best for anyone who loves history, and for a family room where the set stays out.
