STAUNTON No 5 - handmade

Sunrise Staunton No. 5 handmade chess pieces are a classic Staunton-style set for No. 5 boards and larger No. 4+ boards, combining carved wooden pieces with a traditional look that works well for everyday play.

They are made from Schima superba wood and finished with carved details and a slightly rustic stain, giving the set more character than plain, fully smooth pieces. The result is a natural fit for home use and for pairing with an elegant wooden chessboard.

Each piece is weighted and has a protective felt backing underneath, which helps it sit more steadily on the board and move smoothly during play. The king stands at 90 mm, while the pawn measures 42 mm, so the set remains well proportioned and easy to read over the board.
