Dream Green is proud to bring you Noble Celts Chess by award-winning game inventor and artist, Don Green.
Circular Chess from Ancient Times...
The abstract animal and interlocking braided cord designs of Northern Britain and Ireland harmonize beautifully with exquisite chess pieces from an original set hand-carved by Don Green.
Noble Celts is a richly decorated Celtic-Saxon styled circular chess game.
Chess was played on a circular designed board centuries ago but this version mostly disappeared during the Dark Ages. This could be as a result of the many occasions that chess has been forbidden.
|
These chess pieces are replicas of the originals which were discovered on the Isle of Lewis off the West Coast of Scotland and which are now housed safely and securely in the British Museum of London and in Edinburgh. Many pieces were discovered and this is our interpretation of the Isle of Lewis chess set. The Isle of Lewis chessmen were featured in the movie, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

The game bagatelle evolved from efforts to bring outdoor games, such as croquet and shuffleboard, inside and atop tables. History records the existence of table-based games back to the 15th Century, and a 17th-century table is preserved in the Great Hall at Hatfield House. While some games took the wickets of croquet and turned them into the side-rail pockets of modern pocket billiards, some tables became smaller and had the holes placed in strategic areas in the middle of the table.
In France, during the reign of King Louis XIV, someone took a billiard table and narrowed it, placing the pins at one end of the table while making the player shoot balls with a stick or cue from the other end. Pins took too long to reset when knocked down, so the pins eventually became fixed to the table, and holes took the place of targets. Players could ricochet the ball off the pins to achieve the harder, higher-scoring holes.
In 1777 a party was thrown in honor of the Louis XVI and the Queen at the Château de Bagatelle, recently erected at great expense by the king's brother, the Count of Artois. Bagatelle from Italian bagattella, signifies a trifle, a decorative thing. The highlight of the party was a new table game featuring the slender table and cue sticks, which players used to shoot ivory balls up an inclined play field. The table game was dubbed "Bagatelle" by the Count and shortly after swept through France.
"Bagatelle" in this sense made its debut in English in 1819 (OED), its dimensions soon standardized at 7 feet by 21 inches. Bagatelle spread and became so popular in America as well that a political cartoon from 1863 depicts President Abraham Lincoln playing a tabletop bagatelle game.
