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 Boxes are designed for those who value refinement, craftsmanship, and lasting quality. Each box reflects the same dedication to detail that defines our finest chess sets, offering an elegant and secure home for your treasured pieces. Crafted from premium hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or ebony, these boxes showcase smooth finishes, precise joinery, and a polished aesthetic that complements any high-end collection.
Inside, the attention to detail continues. Many feature soft felt or velvet linings to protect delicate carvings from scratches, with individual compartments or padded divisions to keep every piece neatly in place. Solid brass hinges, discreet magnetic closures, and smooth-opening lids enhance the sense of quality and durability, ensuring your chessmen remain safe and organised for generations.
These boxes are not merely storage — they are statement pieces in their own right. Each one embodies the tradition of fine craftsmanship and adds a touch of sophistication to any display or study. Available in various sizes, they accommodate everything from standard tournament pieces to large luxury sets, often including space for extra queens.
Whether used as a collector’s display or simply to keep your pieces secure between games, our Luxury Chess Boxes bring elegance and practicality together beautifully. Combining timeless design with expert workmanship, they reflect the heritage and quality that make Official Staunton products renowned around the world.
