Historical Reproduction Pieces

Our Historical Reproduction Chess Pieces pay tribute to the rich heritage of the game, faithfully recreating some of the most iconic designs in chess history. Each set is meticulously crafted using original reference samples and period-accurate proportions, ensuring every detail — from the curve of the rook to the expression of the knight — reflects the artistry of the past.

Hand-turned and carved from fine hardwoods such as boxwood, ebony, and rosewood, these pieces capture the essence of 19th-century craftsmanship. Subtle variations in shape and style honour the distinct characteristics of early Staunton-era designs, as well as other historic influences that defined chess’s golden age. Every piece is weighted and felted for stability, bringing together authentic form with modern practicality.

These reproductions are made for collectors and players who appreciate the history behind the game. Whether displayed as part of a collection or used in regular play, they embody the elegance, balance, and spirit of the original designs.

A set of Historical Reproduction Chess Pieces from Official Staunton is more than a nod to tradition — it’s a revival of timeless artistry. Each set connects today’s players to the legacy of the masters who shaped the enduring beauty of chess.
