The Isle of Lewis chessmen are among the best known objects in the National Museum of Scotland. Most of the pieces found were carved in Walrus ivory in the early 12th and 13th centuries and were found approximately 700 years later in the area of Uig on the Isle of Lewis. They are thought to have been originally made in Scandinavia and belonged to someone who lived on the Isle of Lewis.
We are based in the UK specialising in resin casting and have been making good quality chess sets for almost 40 years. All our chessmen and cast from our own silicone moulds which we make ourselves and each piece is cast under pressure eliminating 99% of air bubbles to produce top quality pieces which are hand polished with felt base finish.
