Oxford Staunton Black – When Details Decide the Game
Not all Staunton pieces are created equal. The Oxford model stands out with one crucial element: ornamentation that never compromises functionality.
- Lifelike, upright-eared knight – The upward-facing head and focused gaze symbolize strength and precision, while the teeth and nostrils are carved with such intricate detail that they come alive on the board
- Flattened tower battlements – Offer both visual appeal and excellent grip, perfectly complementing the set's overall design
- Hand-finished boxwood pieces – Each piece is carefully turned and hand-finished
- Ebonized black pieces – Deep black pieces create a dramatic contrast and professional appearance
Why Oxford Stands Out From Other Staunton Models
The Oxford set is noble and majestic by nature, reflecting the elegance and grandeur of English chess. While many other Staunton models pursue minimalist simplicity, the Oxford model dares to be more ornate – but intelligently so. It combines the timeless classic with subtle decorative elements, especially in the knight's carving, which is a true masterpiece of craftsmanship.
FIDE Standards-Compliant
Weighted and felted, these pieces are designed for serious play. Two extra queens included ensure seamless gameplay. Visual elegance that enhances concentration during long games.
