Lewis Chess Pieces Bookends - King and Queen

Description

These unique bookends are hand made in the UK and modelled after the Lewis Chessmen King and Queen from the National Museums Scotland collection. Discovered in 1831 on the Isle of Lewis but dating back to the 12th Century, the Lewis Chessmen recall a time of feuding Viking lords and violent invasions and are one of our museum’s most popular gifts.
