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

The Lewis chessmen, with a place to live. The pieces copy the medieval originals in detail: glum kings, queens with a hand to the cheek, rooks biting their shields, moulded to look like carved stone. The board is a full-size walnut finish with two side drawers, so the whole army slides away when the game is done.
- Every face different, so the set rewards a close look
- Drawers on both sides, so the pieces stay with the board
- Moulded resin, so it survives handling by children
Best for anyone who loves history, and for a family room where the set stays out.
