Slide-Lid Cases

Our Slide-Lid Cases offer a timeless and practical way to store and protect your chess pieces. Crafted from fine hardwoods such as mahogany, sheesham, and walnut, each case is made with precision joinery and a smooth sliding top, providing a secure yet elegant storage solution that complements any chess set.

These cases are designed with functionality and durability in mind. The interior is typically lined with soft green or beige felt to prevent your pieces from scratching or clashing while stored. The smooth-gliding lid fits neatly into its grooves, offering easy access while keeping dust and moisture at bay. Many players appreciate their simplicity — no hinges, locks, or clasps, just a classic, well-made box that does its job perfectly.

Available in a range of sizes, our slide-lid cases can accommodate everything from compact travel sets to full tournament-sized chessmen. Each case provides ample room for 32 pieces, with space for extra queens included in most designs. The understated appearance allows them to pair beautifully with both modern and traditional Staunton chess sets.

Whether you’re a collector, a club player, or simply want a tidy way to protect your investment, these cases provide a dependable solution. Their minimalist design reflects the heritage of fine craftsmanship — elegant, sturdy, and made to last for decades. A Slide-Lid Case from Official Staunton is not just a container but a fitting companion to the artistry of your chess pieces.
