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.

The Isle of Lewis Pieces and Board Presentation Set

Our Lewis Sets with Wooden Boards bring together the charm of medieval design with the warmth and beauty of natural wood. Inspired by the world-famous Isle of Lewis chessmen, each piece is carefully sculpted to reflect the expressive detail of the original 12th-century figures discovered in Scotland. These iconic characters, with their distinctive expressions and bold shapes, have become a timeless symbol of chess history.

Paired with finely crafted wooden boards made from walnut, mahogany, or maple, these sets offer a perfect blend of tradition and craftsmanship. The boards feature inlaid squares with smooth finishes that complement the weight and texture of the Lewis pieces, creating a playing experience that feels both historic and refined.

Whether displayed as a statement piece or enjoyed in regular play, these sets embody authenticity and artistry. Each combination reflects the enduring appeal of the Lewis design — elegant, tactile, and unmistakably distinctive. A Lewis Set with Wooden Board from Official Staunton captures the essence of the game’s heritage, offering a beautiful balance of style, quality, and historical significance for players and collectors alike.
