From the moment you lift a piece, you’ll feel the satisfying weight, smooth polish, and timeless craftsmanship that have connected generations of players. This isn’t just a chess set — it’s a trusted companion, ready for both your everyday matches and your most competitive games.
The German Knight Staunton remains one of the most played and best-loved chess designs in the world. Its clean, graceful lines make it equally at home in tournament halls, schools, clubs, or the living room. Each piece is expertly handcrafted from ebonized and natural boxwood, emulating the deep, rich beauty of real ebony without the premium cost. The precise turning and fine hand-carving give the set a refined look, while the traditional lacquer finish enhances the natural character of the wood.
Weighted for ideal balance and fitted with thick green baize pads, the pieces glide effortlessly and quietly across the board. The set includes two extra queens to make pawn promotion smooth and seamless. Paired with our handcrafted Walnut and Maple chess board — featuring inlaid squares, a soft satin sheen, and a durable wood base — this set offers both elegance and a professional-level playing experience.
