Staunton Classic Black – The Power of Tradition in Ebonized Boxwood
A design over 170 years old has never aged. Staunton Classic Black brings this timeless pattern hand-carved from boxwood – dark pieces in deep black, light pieces in natural warmth.
- Hand-carved from boxwood – same wood species for both colors, uniform feel
- Ebonized dark pieces – deep black tone that looks prestigious
- Weighted with iron – pieces stay in place, balance is perfect
- Felted bases – moves are silent and the board stays scratch-free
- Two extra queens – no need to interrupt the game for promotions
Design that has lasted a century
The Staunton design was created in the mid-1800s and became the standard that has dominated boards ever since. Why? Because it works. Each piece is recognizable at a glance. No confusion, no guessing. Just chess at its best.
Boxwood that carries history
Boxwood has been the material for chess pieces for centuries. It's dense, consistent, and ages with dignity. When dark pieces are ebonized, the resulting black is even and deep – not grayish, not brownish. Iron weights give a stable feel in hand. Felt bases keep the game quiet. Everything is just as it should be.
