Staunton International
Staunton International presents a carefully curated range of Staunton chess sets, chess pieces, and chess boards, created with a clear focus on accuracy, craftsmanship, and long-term usability. As the international division of the Official Staunton Chess Company, established in 1993, our work centres on historically accurate Staunton designs alongside refined modern interpretations suited to both play and display.
First introduced in 1849, the Staunton pattern remains the recognised standard for chess worldwide. Its clarity, balance, and practical proportions are the reason it is still used today.
Our collections stay true to that legacy, with correctly proportioned pieces, careful weighting, and precise carving that ensure each set performs as well as it looks.
Every product is selected for performance and longevity — not just appearance.
All pieces are handcrafted using traditional woodworking methods and carefully selected materials.
This is equipment designed for real use — not simply display.
We supply customers across the USA, Europe, Australia, and beyond, offering secure, tracked delivery and dependable service.
Our streamlined approach ensures competitive pricing without compromising on quality.
For over 30 years, the Official Staunton Chess Company has supplied chess equipment to private collectors, institutions, and notable clients including The Savoy Hotel, Linley of Belgravia, and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Our reputation is built on consistency, quality, and trust.
