Whether you’re a serious player, collector, or looking for a timeless gift, our carefully curated selection of Staunton and wooden chess sets ensures exceptional craftsmanship, durability, and style. Each piece reflects the heritage of classic chess design while being built for modern play.
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.
Customers value our trusted reputation, dedicated service, and 3-year warranty. Official Staunton remains the recognised home of traditional Staunton chess sets — a name associated with precision and heritage.
Our chess pieces follow professional tournament proportions, offering balance, clarity, and long-term durability. For collectors, they represent a tangible link to chess history.
Sustainability matters: our hardwoods come from managed plantations or sustainable forests. Each chess set is made using traditional methods that minimise waste and maximise longevity.

Our Luxury Chess Boards represent the finest in craftsmanship and design, created for players and collectors who value elegance as much as playability. Each board is handcrafted from premium hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, maple, or ebony, selected for their rich grain patterns and natural beauty. The precision of the inlay work and the depth of the polished finish ensure that every board stands as a work of art in its own right.
These boards are designed to complement high-quality Staunton chess pieces, providing the perfect balance of proportion, weight, and visual harmony. The smooth surface and carefully finished edges enhance the playing experience, while the subtle lustre of the wood adds a sense of refinement to any setting.
Many of our luxury boards are made in Europe by skilled artisans who continue the traditions of fine woodworking, ensuring each piece reflects both heritage and quality. Beneath their elegance lies a sturdy, stable construction designed to endure years of regular use without warping or fading.
Ideal for display or tournament use, these boards make a statement of sophistication and style. Whether paired with ebony, rosewood, or boxwood chessmen, a Luxury Chess Board from Official Staunton transforms every game into an experience of precision and artistry. It is not merely a board — it is the foundation of a timeless tradition, crafted for those who appreciate beauty and excellence in every detail.
