Isle of Lewis Chess Set and Board
If you are a big fan of the movie Harry Potter & The Sorcerer’s Stone, you’ll be interested to know that this chess set and chess board are an exact replica of the final challenge chess set that Harry Potter played on in that movie. The original Isle of Lewis chess set is the earliest known European chess set, originally discovered on the Isle of Lewis around the year 1170, and the chess set shown here has been carefully reproduced to look just like it.
In fact, the British Museum which displays the famous authentic antique chess set (with the Isle of Lewis chess pieces), was directly involved with the making of the molds when these were being created for these chessmen. This chess set is produced in Canada.
Because this is the closest reproduction of the historic Lewis chessmen available for sale today, don’t miss your chance to get it if you are interested.
