FAQs

The Staunton chess set is the standard design for chess pieces, introduced in the mid-19th century and characterised by heavily weighted, clearly distinguishable pieces with architectural motifs.

Traditional chess sets were typically crafted from hardwoods such as boxwood for the lighter pieces, paired with ebonised wood, ebony, or rosewood for the darker pieces.

Authentification relies on examining the turning marks, the patina of the wood, the specific styling of the knights carving, and any lead-weighting methods typical of the period.

An antique chess set can be displayed on a dedicated table or sideboard as a focal point, combining functional gaming with classic decorative appeal.

Preservation involves keeping wooden chess sets away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity fluctuations, cleaning them gently with a dry microfiber cloth, and occasionally applying microcrystalline wax.
