At Official Staunton, we celebrate the enduring legacy of the original 1849 Staunton chess design created by John Jaques of London — a pattern that became the recognised standard for chess worldwide and remains the benchmark for organised play today.
Our wooden chess sets are crafted from premium hardwoods including ebony, rosewood, acacia, and boxwood. Each chess piece is carefully weighted, felted, and finished to provide excellent balance, durability, and handling.
We pair our pieces with European-made wooden chess boards crafted from walnut, maple, mahogany, and anegre. Precision inlay work and durable finishes ensure lasting quality and visual appeal.
From entry-level wooden chess sets to luxury collector editions, our range caters to players of every level. Tournament players appreciate the regulation sizing and balance, while collectors value the authenticity of our Jaques reproduction chessmen.
Historical designs such as our Isle of Lewis Chess Sets pay tribute to some of the most iconic chess pieces ever discovered, recreating their distinctive character and historical significance.
Customers throughout the UK trust Official Staunton for quality, service, and reliability. Our reputation has been built on supplying exceptional Staunton chess sets, luxury chess boards, and finely crafted chess pieces to players, schools, clubs, and collectors.

Explore our collection of Staunton chess sets, chess boards, and handcrafted chess pieces, where every move begins with quality, heritage, and craftsmanship.
Our hand carved chess pieces in this luxury range are produced using traditional methods, with each piece individually turned and carved from premium hardwoods such as ebony, rosewood, padauk, and boxwood. These luxury chess pieces are designed to offer both detailed craftsmanship and practical balance for play.
The carving process allows for a higher level of detail, particularly in the knight, where features such as the mane and facial structure are shaped by hand. Each piece is then finished and polished to ensure consistency in proportion and surface quality.
