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.
