Handcrafted Staunton Chess Sets
Wooden chess sets remain the most popular choice for players and collectors. Our collection ranges from entry-level walnut and maple boards with 3-inch kings to heirloom-quality sets crafted from exotic hardwoods. Admired for their durability and natural beauty, wooden chess sets offer warmth and character that never goes out of style.
Luxury & Collector Chess Sets
For those who value artistry, our luxury chess sets include museum-quality reproductions of historic Jaques of London designs. Each set is handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail, making them ideal for collectors, gift-giving, or anyone wishing to own a true piece of chess history.
Choosing the Right Chess Set
When selecting a chess set, consider:
-
Board Size – A standard tournament board has 2-inch squares with a 3.75–4 inch king. Smaller boards suit casual play, while larger boards create striking displays.
-
Materials – From boxwood and acacia to premium ebony and padauk, each wood has its own look and feel.
-
Purpose – Weighted Staunton pieces are perfect for regular games, while luxury reproductions excel as display or collector’s items.
