True Staunton Heritage

At Staunton International, we don’t just sell chess sets — we preserve a legacy. Our products are rooted in the historic 1849 Staunton pattern that changed the face of modern chess. Each set we offer honours that design tradition while incorporating world-class craftsmanship.

Our artisans use ethically sourced woods, traditional hand-carving methods, and precise finishing to produce heirloom-quality pieces that reflect the prestige of the Staunton name.
