Celtic
Chess pieces
The Celtic people were inhabitants of areas of western Europe, particularly Ireland, Wales, Brittany and the Highlands of Scotland. They were subjected to raids by Vikings and Norsemen and then, almost one thousand years ago, the Celtic inhabitants of Ireland rose up under their King, Brian Boru, to fight the invading and colonising Vikings. Our chess set is the story of that particular battle the Battle of Clontarf, in 1014AD which took place near Dublin. Although the Celts managed to defeat the Viking invaders, their King, Brian Boru, was slain. Our chess set portrays many of the characteristics of the era with authentic and historically correct artefacts shown in splendid detail. The skill and workmanship of the Celtic tribes was demonstrated by their artistic and unique designs, recognised throughout the world and reproduced here in this magnificent chess set.
