 Isle
of Lewis
The most famous chess set. This is considered to be the oldest
known chess set ever found. The hand carved pieces (78 in all)
were found in an underground chamber in the Isle of Lewis in Scotland
in 1831. Most of these are now in the British Museum in London.
They are thought to have been made in Scandinavia in the twelfth
century. Our full set is composed of twelve different pieces so
that both sides of the set, although similar, are actually different.
The king height is 95mm.1
