Note globale du site
A beautiful Isle of Lewis themed chess set in classic size.
Made in England, these chess pieces are a millimetre-precise reproduction of the legendary Isle of Lewis Chessmen, preserved and displayed at the British Museum and the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.
The mahogany chess board, measuring 40 x 40 cm, provides ample space for the chess pieces to sit comfortably. The tone of the wood pairs beautifully with the pieces, and its size makes them easy to handle.
If you prefer to keep it stored safely, we have also included a lovely wenge-coloured wooden box to complete this unique set.
Matching Guide
Choosing the right board size
A beautiful chess set rests on a simple balance: pieces well proportioned to the size of the squares. To choose a harmonious board, the most reliable guide is the diameter of the king's base.
Key guideline: ideally, the king's base takes up about 75% of the square.
Traditional wooden chess sets
| King height | King base diameter | Square size |
|---|---|---|
| 7,3 à 7,6 cm | 3,8 cm | 4,7 à 5,1 cm |
| 9,5 à 9,8 cm | 4,4 cm | 5,7 à 6 cm |
| 10,1 cm | 4,1 à 4,7 cm | 6 cm |
| 11,2 cm | 5 cm | 6,3 cm |
| 12,7 cm et plus | 4,4 cm | 6,3 à 7 cm |
Metal, resin, pewter, brass or themed sets
| King base diameter | Square size |
|---|---|
| 2 à 2,4 cm | 2,8 à 3,5 cm |
| 2,5 à 2,9 cm | 3,5 à 4 cm |
| 3 à 3,4 cm | 4,3 à 5 cm |
| 3,5 à 3,9 cm | 4,8 à 6,2 cm |
| 4 à 4,5 cm | 6 à 8 cm |
A board that is too small can hamper moves and make the set look cluttered. À l’inverse, a board that is too large can break the harmony of the whole. The right size brings both playing comfort and elegance.
