At Official Staunton, we continue the proud tradition of the original 1849 Staunton chess design created by John Jaques of London — a design that became the universal benchmark for chess worldwide. Each set in our collection represents a fusion of heritage and precision.
Our wooden chess sets are made from ethically sourced hardwoods including ebony, rosewood, acacia, and boxwood. Each piece is hand-turned, carved, weighted, and felted to ensure perfect balance and smooth handling.
We pair our pieces with European-made wooden chess boards crafted from walnut, maple, mahogany, and anegre. Precision inlay and a durable satin finish ensure long-lasting performance.
From entry-level wooden chess sets to luxury collector editions, our range caters to every type of player. Competitors value the regulation sizing and weighting, while collectors appreciate the authenticity of our Jaques reproduction chessmen.
Historical pieces in our collection, such as the Isle of Lewis Chess Sets, honour ancient craftsmanship. These sets recreate the iconic 12th-century figures discovered in Scotland.
With over 25 years of expertise, we serve players, schools, clubs, and collectors across the UK. Our commitment to authenticity ensures each chess set meets the highest standards.

Our Large Display Lewis Chess Sets celebrate one of history’s most iconic designs — the legendary Isle of Lewis chessmen. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, these sets faithfully reproduce the distinctive medieval figures discovered on the Isle of Lewis in the 19th century. Each piece captures the expressive character and charm of the originals, from the solemn kings to the wide-eyed warders.
These large display editions are made for collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate artistry as much as heritage. The pieces are cast from high-quality resin or crushed marble and hand-finished to bring out subtle textures and details. Their impressive size and weight make them ideal for exhibition, display, or as a striking conversation piece in any home or office.
Paired with a beautifully crafted board, often in complementary tones of walnut or mahogany, the Large Display Lewis Set transforms the timeless game of chess into a work of art. Combining historical authenticity with modern craftsmanship, each set embodies the spirit of the ancient Norse world and remains a proud tribute to one of the most fascinating finds in chess history. It’s a statement of tradition, artistry, and enduring appeal.
