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.

Our Luxury Wooden Chess Sets represent the finest expression of traditional craftsmanship and timeless design. Each set is handcrafted from premium hardwoods such as ebony, rosewood, padauk, or boxwood, chosen for their rich tones, durability, and natural beauty. Every chessman is individually turned and hand-carved by skilled artisans, resulting in a flawless balance of elegance, weight, and precision.
These sets are designed to meet the highest standards of collectors and serious players alike. The kings and queens feature graceful profiles, while the knights display intricate detailing that showcases true artisanal skill. Each piece is weighted and felted, ensuring perfect stability and a smooth glide across the board.
Paired with our luxury inlaid wooden boards, these sets create a stunning centrepiece for play or display. The warm polish of the wood enhances the contrast between light and dark pieces, giving every match a refined and professional look.
