Premium, high-quality chess pieces with a slender profile and wide bases that give better stability.
Each piece is handcrafted in Europe by skilled craftsmen, using carving and burning techniques to create unique details you won’t get from modern mass production.
Made from acacia for the black pieces and boxwood for the white pieces, this set delivers a premium build with a distinctive double base on every piece that makes them unique between all other Staunton models.
These pieces follow a distinctive Staunton-style design with a slender look and wide bases.
They’re premium, high-quality pieces made in Europe by skilled craftsmen, not turned out by modern mass production.
That hands-on work shows in the finish, with carving and burning used to add detail and give each set its own character.
And the double base on every piece adds extra stability, keeping them firmly in place.
The Sterling Chess team absolutely loves Sunrise Chess & Games products for their remarkable craftsmanship, elegant styling, and meticulous attention to detail. Every piece reflects refined artistry and thoughtful design, making each game feel elevated and memorable. From beautifully carved wooden sets to premium accessories, Sunrise Chess & Games truly embodies the passion and tradition at the heart of chess.”
