Berkeley Isle of Lewis Chess Set (cream and red- board not included)

Beautiful! These pieces are heavy, well crafted, and have felt on the bottoms of the pieces. The character pieces are larger than I thought and have a quality weight to them. You will need a chess board that has 2” squares to fit the King and Queen but this is well worth the money and an excellent gift for any collector or chess enthusiast.

Meticuliously crafted and hand painted in England, each piece is unique and accurately reflects the expressions and features of the original chessmen found in 1831 on the seashore of the Isle of Lewis, off the west coast of Scotland. This set is made from ground resin and is weighty. A joy to view, hold and play!

I have never taken time to write a review before, but here goes. I received this set in absolutely perfect condition (MastersOfGames had packed it very well for it's trip from England to the middle of the USA), it is beautifully made and exactly as pictured on the website. I love it and highly recommend it.

Over the years and multiple moves, the first set I got back in 1987 dwindled away. I’m so happy to have gotten this set to replace my favorite set that I thought would show back up once I finished unpacking a myriad of boxes. This is faster. May this set endure. Thanks for selling these to this day so I could replace what I thought could not be replaced.

De gran calidad y similar a las figuras originales

A bit pricey but absolutely beautifully recreated pieces - well worth the money.

Its a unique gift that will be appreciated by a chess fan
