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.

Our Wooden Storage Boxes combine practicality with classic craftsmanship, offering a timeless solution for safely storing your chess pieces. Made from fine hardwoods such as mahogany, sheesham, and walnut, each box is built to last, with a natural finish that highlights the beauty of the grain. These boxes provide both protection and aesthetic appeal, perfectly complementing any Staunton-style chess set.
Designed with simplicity and durability in mind, the interiors are often lined with soft green or beige felt to cushion the pieces and prevent them from scratching or rattling during storage. The boxes are fitted with sturdy brass hinges and clasps, ensuring smooth operation and secure closure. Available in a range of sizes, they comfortably accommodate full sets of 32 pieces, with space for additional queens in most models.
These wooden boxes aren’t just practical — they also serve as elegant display pieces. Their traditional look and polished finish make them a fitting match for both modern and vintage chessmen. Whether used to store valuable heirloom pieces or as everyday protection for your favourite set, they embody the fine craftsmanship and attention to detail expected from Official Staunton.
A Wooden Storage Box offers peace of mind, keeping your chessmen safe, organised, and ready for play. Built to endure years of use, each box is a functional yet beautiful accessory — a perfect companion for those who appreciate quality and timeless design in every aspect of the game.
