Collection: Mid-Range Staunton Chess Pieces

Staunton refers to a recognizable family of chess-piece designs, including horse-head knights, slotted bishops, and castle-shaped rooks. Sets can differ in carving, proportions, wood, and size while sharing that design language. It describes the pieces' style, not the accessories included.

Products in this collection are listed from $179.99 to $379.99 USD. These are displayed selling prices before additional coupon discounts and checkout charges. Allow separately for a board or storage when the selected listing excludes them.

Yes. The Championship Series in Sheesham and boxwood linked above is listed at $179.99 USD on October 15, 2026. It includes 34 pieces and excludes the board. Check its current price and availability before ordering.

A set of pieces does not necessarily include a board. The Championship and Modern Staunton examples on this page both exclude one. Use the package contents to confirm what you receive, even when product photographs show a complete playing setup.

Check the base diameter as well as the height. The Championship model recommends 50 mm squares, while the Modern Staunton model recommends 55 mm squares. Both kings are 3.75 inches tall, so height alone cannot determine the right board.

Both featured models include two extra queens within a total of 34 pieces. This gives each side an additional queen for pawn promotion. Confirm the piece count for the design you select rather than treating extra queens as a collection-wide inclusion.

The Championship and Modern Staunton listings describe handcrafted pieces with hand polishing. Read the craftsmanship details for your chosen model. These descriptions do not establish identical carving methods or finishes across every item in the collection.

Choose pieces and a board that meet your event's equipment requirements. A Staunton design alone does not confirm approval for a particular tournament. Check the required dimensions and other specifications with the organizer before buying for competition.

Keep them dry, handle carved details carefully, and follow the selected product's care guidance. The two featured listings state that their pieces are neither waterproof nor UV-resistant, so protect them from moisture and prolonged direct sunlight.
