Lewis Chess Set Royal Selangor brings the iconic Lewis chessmen trove to life, inspired by one of the most popular artefacts in the whole of the British Museum’s collection. Unearthed on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides in 1831, the 12th century Lewis chessmen are carved in walrus ivory, and are very likely of Scandinavian origin. The Lewis Chess Set features meticulously recreated replicas of the original chessmen selected from the museum’s collection. Except for the pawns, which resemble upright slabs with elaborate scrollwork, the king, queen, bishop, knight and rook all wear vivid facial expressions, which almost resemble real people. This human-like quality lends a fun, unique emotive approach to an everyday chess game. The serious-looking king, the sword across his knees implies unbiased justice, and readiness to defend his throne. By his side, drinking horn in hand, his compassionate queen surveys the carnage of the battlefield and wonders what solace she can offer. Benevolent bishops in full regalia serenely attend them, as do dutiful knights astride sturdy ponies, while fierce berserker warriors play the role of rooks. Opposing sides, in pewter, differentiated by a glimmering polish and a dark matt finish, face each other across a chessboard in nyatoh, scorched with an interwoven knot motif from the king’s throne. 58
