Antique & Vintage Chess Sets
Our antique chess sets for sale are based on historically accurate Staunton pattern chess sets, carefully developed to reflect the original designs produced during the mid-19th and early 20th centuries. These Jaques reproduction chess sets are created with a focus on correct proportions, detailing, and materials.
Over many years, we have worked closely with collectors of original antique chess sets and boards. Their feedback helps refine each reproduction, ensuring that the design, weight, and overall character remain faithful to the originals. Before release, new designs are reviewed and adjusted based on this input.
