I love the history behind the inspiration for it, the look of it, and the quality. (I am only disappointed that desertcart failed to pack it better, I purchased it for a gift and the box was damaged.) Review: Exquisite detail, high quality & good packaging - My sister brought one of these Chess sets back from her trip to Scotland and I had to have one. Luckily I found one here on desertcart. The Chess pieces are so fantastic with exquisite detail plus they’re well made. You don’t want to be rough with them I’m sure but you also don’t have to live in fear that a piece may fall over and life as this Chess set knows it will be over. We’ve accidentally knocked a few over here and there as we play and have had no problems. They’re sturdier than I expected. The set comes packaged in a classic black box with a foam insert designed to hold all the pieces. The box has a silver print on the lid with a simple design and the logo of National Museums Scotland along with the name of this particular set, the Lewis Chess Men Chess set. The packaging protected the set during shipping perfectly and I keep it around to store the pieces in when we don’t have them out for playing or display. The price tag is substantial, but I think it’s worth it for the quality, the size, the detailed design, and the unique story that goes along with this type of reproduction Chess set. We have this Chess set out on our game table ready to play at all times and adding a touch of history and whimsy to the front room. I love the look of the set. I love the history behind the design. And I love playing chess with these reproductions. This Chess set makes a great addition for chess fans and game lovers, as well as those looking to add a practical and fun piece of room decor that really brings something special to a space. I recommend buying it for yourself or gifting it to someone you think highly of. I have no regrets. ## Features - Official National Museum pieces. - Cast from laser scans of originals. - 3.25 inch (83 mm) king. - Presented in superb gift packaging. - Pieces made in England. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004UG37GE | | Best Sellers Rank | #423,236 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #2,697 in Game Pieces | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (308) | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 4.74 pounds | | Item model number | NMS001 | | Manufacturer | National Museum Scotland | | Manufacturer recommended age | 14 years and up | | Product Dimensions | 4.72 x 4.72 x 4.72 inches | ## Images ![National Museum Scotland The Isle Of Lewis Chessmen The Official Set - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71UBog1i7dL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fabulous set, great detail on the pieces *by K***A on January 10, 2026* I love this set.

What is most impressive though is how beautiful and interesting the pieces are while still being totally functional. In addition, the history is fascinating and well worth learning about. Requires a large chessboard as these are big pieces. Also, the box and packaging are well made and somehow beautiful as well. The care and attention are really outstanding. A board that works well with these pieces is: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PRAE2S4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ## Frequently Bought Together - National Museum Scotland The Isle Of Lewis Chessmen The Official Set - The Lewis Chessmen: Unmasked - IVORY VIKINGS --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/9342837-national-museum-scotland-the-isle-of-lewis-chessmen-the-official](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/9342837-national-museum-scotland-the-isle-of-lewis-chessmen-the-official) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
