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.

Luxury Mahogany Chess Box

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.
