Luxury Chess Sets

A luxury chess set is more than something you play on, it’s a statement piece. It’s craftsmanship, artistry, and heritage all brought together in a way that elevates both your game and your space. Whether displayed in a living room, study, or office, a beautifully crafted luxury set says something about your appreciation for detail and tradition.

At Sterling Chess, we’re proud to curate one of Australia’s finest collections of luxury chess sets. Each piece is selected for its quality, originality, and long-term value. When you choose a luxury set from us, you’re choosing something designed to be admired and enjoyed for a lifetime.

Explore Our Luxury Chess Collection

Our collection includes premium sets made from hand-carved hardwoods, polished metals, ornate pewter, marble, brass, and other high-end materials. Many of the brands we stock — including Dal Rossi, Manopoulos, Royal Selangor, Chess Bazaar, and House of Staunton — are internationally recognised for their craftsmanship and historical accuracy.

Every luxury set has its own personality. Some offer the classic elegance of traditional Staunton silhouettes carved from ebony or rosewood. Others lean into artistic and themed designs, capturing cultural, architectural, or historical motifs with remarkable detail. Whether you’re drawn to traditional refinement or bold artistic expression, you’ll find a piece that speaks to your taste.

Craftsmanship That Sets These Pieces Apart

Luxury chess sets stand out because of the time and skill invested in each piece. From the weight of the king to the curve of every knight’s mane, the craftsmanship is deliberate and tangible. Woods are carefully matched for colour and grain. Metals are polished, cast, or etched to create striking contrast. Even the felt bases and finishing oils are chosen with longevity in mind.

These sets aren’t mass-produced. Many are hand-finished by artisans who specialise in traditional carving methods or metal casting techniques. The result is a chess set that feels substantial, balanced, and visually captivating.

Whether you’re buying for yourself, gifting someone special, or building a personal collection, a luxury chess set is an heirloom — something that can be displayed proudly and passed down for generations.
