Our Heritage

The Staunton Chess Tradition

At Official Staunton , we celebrate the enduring legacy of the original 1849 Staunton chess design associated with John Jaques of London.

Its recognisable profiles and practical proportions helped the Staunton pattern become the accepted standard for organised chess and remain central to modern chess-set design.

Materials

Natural Woods and Refined Finishes

Our wooden chess sets feature materials including ebony, rosewood, acacia and boxwood, alongside economy boards produced with carefully applied veneers and lithographic finishes.

Natural variations in colour, grain and tone form part of the individual character of real wood and help make each chess set distinctive.

Playing Quality

Balance, Weight and Handling

Many of our chess pieces are weighted, felted and carefully finished to provide stable handling and an enjoyable, substantial feel during play.

Traditional proportions provide clear piece recognition, while suitable base diameters and weighting help create a comfortable playing experience.

Chessboards

Boards Selected to Complement the Pieces

We pair our chessmen with wooden chessboards crafted from materials including walnut, maple, mahogany and anegre.

Appropriate square sizes, clear contrast and durable finishes help produce combinations suitable for regular play and permanent display.

Our Staunton Chess Pieces represent the timeless standard of elegance, balance, and playability in the game of chess. First introduced in 1849, the Staunton design quickly became the universal choice for tournament play — and remains the benchmark of quality and tradition to this day.

Each set in our collection is handcrafted by skilled artisans who understand the importance of proportion and detail. The knights are intricately carved, often featuring expressive faces and finely detailed manes, while the kings, queens, bishops, rooks, and pawns maintain the graceful simplicity that defines the Staunton style. Every piece is weighted and felted, ensuring perfect balance and a smooth, stable feel on the board.

Available in a variety of premium hardwoods such as ebony, rosewood, padauk, and boxwood, these pieces are designed to complement boards of all sizes and finishes. Many sets include four queens for pawn promotion and are supplied with a certificate of authenticity, underscoring their heritage and craftsmanship.

A set of Staunton Chess Pieces from Official Staunton is more than a functional collection — it’s a link to chess history. Favoured by grandmasters and collectors alike, these pieces embody precision, beauty, and tradition, making every game a refined and timeless experience.
