Our Heritage

The Staunton Chess Tradition

At Official Staunton , we celebrate the enduring legacy of the original 1849 Staunton chess design associated with John Jaques of London.

Its recognisable profiles and practical proportions helped the Staunton pattern become the accepted standard for organised chess and remain central to modern chess-set design.

Materials

Natural Woods and Refined Finishes

Our wooden chess sets feature materials including ebony, rosewood, acacia and boxwood, alongside economy boards produced with carefully applied veneers and lithographic finishes.

Natural variations in colour, grain and tone form part of the individual character of real wood and help make each chess set distinctive.

Playing Quality

Balance, Weight and Handling

Many of our chess pieces are weighted, felted and carefully finished to provide stable handling and an enjoyable, substantial feel during play.

Traditional proportions provide clear piece recognition, while suitable base diameters and weighting help create a comfortable playing experience.

Chessboards

Boards Selected to Complement the Pieces

We pair our chessmen with wooden chessboards crafted from materials including walnut, maple, mahogany and anegre.

Appropriate square sizes, clear contrast and durable finishes help produce combinations suitable for regular play and permanent display.

Isle of Lewis Chess Pieces, 20” Wenge Chess Board - Official Staunton™

Isle of Lewis Large Chess Pieces, Wenge Chess Board

Isle of Lewis Antique Brown Chess Set Presentation Gift Set

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.
