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.

Our wooden chess boards are designed to offer a reliable and well-balanced playing surface, combining traditional construction with practical durability. Made from carefully selected hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, maple, and wenge, these boards provide both strength and a consistent finish suited to regular use.
