Chess Set
Description:
Inspired by our natural landscape our Native Collection Chessboard has been lovingly hand-manufactured using home-grown, hardwood flaming beech. Matched with handcrafted Mullingar pewter or O’Gowna limestone chess pieces, this chessboard has been adorned with artwork inspired by the Book of Kells, an ancient Irish artifact.
The limestone pieces, crafted by O’Gowna in Naul, Co. Dublin, are reproductions of the Lewis chess set, which is among the earliest known chess sets and was originally found in a sandbank on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides in 1831. The pewter pieces are produced by Mullingar Pewter and depict a battle between the Irish and the Vikings.
The board and pieces come in an Oak presentation box. This truly unique gift is perfect for the devoted chess player, house warming gift, or wedding present.
Dimensions: Board 19.6 (l) x 16.5 (w) x 2.5 (h) cm, Presentation Box 51 (l) x 41 (w) x 5 (h) cm
