Chess is a game rich in history, and many of our iconic chess sets have fascinating origins rooted in both art and tradition. Learn more about the historical importance of these legendary chess designs.
Introduced in 1849 by Nathaniel Cooke, the Staunton chess set quickly became the global standard for chess competitions. Its functional yet elegant design was endorsed by the legendary chess master Howard Staunton, leading to its widespread adoption. The simplicity of the Staunton set, combined with the intricate details on the knight piece, makes it both a practical tool for serious players and a collector's treasure.
The Isle of Lewis Chessmen are a set of 12th-century chess pieces discovered in 1831 on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland. These intricately carved pieces, made from walrus ivory, are believed to have originated in Norway, reflecting the game's early influence in Europe. Each piece is a work of art, featuring unique expressions and details that offer a glimpse into the medieval world.
The Russian Zagreb chess set, with its distinctive red and white tops on the bishops, rose to fame during the 1959 Candidates Tournament in Yugoslavia. It became a favourite among tournament players for its simple yet striking design, which offered exceptional visibility on the board. To this day, it remains a beloved set for serious players and collectors alike.
Chess as we know it emerged in the medieval period, and many of the early chess sets reflected the artistic and cultural influences of the time. Our medieval-inspired sets, such as the Isle of Lewis Replica Set, capture the essence of this era, with elaborate carvings and figures that transport players back to the 12th century.
