Size & Combination Guide

No. 5 is the most common chess piece size, perfectly designed to match No. 5 chess boards (50 x 50 mm squares). This size meets FIDE standards and is suitable for both home and tournament use.

No. 6 is a slightly larger size that offers a more impressive playing experience – excellent with No. 5+ and No. 6 boards. This size also meets FIDE standards.

No. 7 is the largest piece size in our selection. It's best suited for large boards or display use when maximum visibility and feel are desired.

If you're unsure about size, No. 5 is a safe and versatile choice that fits most chess boards and purposes.

French Staunton Black – More Elegant Version of the World's Most Popular Design

Looking for chess pieces that combine tournament standards with refined design? French Staunton Black brings more slender lines to the classic style while maintaining recognizability and functionality - the perfect choice for those who appreciate elegance without sacrificing practicality.

  • Elegant version of the world's most popular design – same functionality, more refined appearance
  • More slender design – French Staunton brings softer lines to the classic Staunton design
  • Hand-carved and weighted – weighted with iron, felted pieces glide silently and remain stable
  • Quality wood materials – pieces carved from boxwood, dark pieces ebonized to deep black, last for years
  • Two extra queens – promotions flow seamlessly

Elegant variation on the tournament standard

French Staunton is a more refined version of the world's most popular chess piece design. FIDE-approved, durable design carved into slightly more slender lines. It's clear, recognizable, yet more elegant – perfect for those who want something more sophisticated than traditional.

Deep black finish, uniform feel

When both colors are hand-carved from boxwood, the pieces feel uniform in play. Dark pieces are ebonized to deep black – not painted – creating a beautiful contrast with the light pieces. Weighted with iron, felted pieces keep moves silent and the board scratch-free.
