Ebony & Boxwood Pieces


Our Ebony and Boxwood Chess Pieces combine timeless elegance with masterful craftsmanship, representing one of the most traditional and sought-after pairings in chess design. Handcrafted from the finest genuine ebony and natural boxwood, each piece is meticulously turned, carved, and polished to achieve perfect balance, proportion, and finish.

The deep, jet-black sheen of the ebony contrasts beautifully with the warm, creamy tones of the boxwood, creating a striking visual harmony that enhances any chessboard. Every piece is double-weighted and felted, ensuring a stable feel and smooth movement during play. The knights, often the focal point of the set, feature intricate hand-carved detailing that reflects the skill and artistry of the craftsman.

Favoured by collectors and serious players alike, ebony and boxwood chessmen are prized for their luxurious appearance and lasting durability. Each set adheres to the classic Staunton design, making it suitable for both display and tournament play.

A set of Ebony and Boxwood Chess Pieces from Official Staunton is more than a functional playing set — it is a statement of refinement and heritage. Combining aesthetic beauty with traditional craftsmanship, these pieces stand as a true testament to the artistry and legacy of fine chess design.
