The French Staunton Tournament Set combines acacia and boxwood pieces with an inlaid tournament board, meeting all standard competition requirements. The 78mm king and weighted, felted base deliver the balance and tactile precision tournament play demands. This set channels 19th-century French design–distinguished by elegant proportions and a refined knight head that remains the preferred aesthetic across European competition circuits.

Built for serious players who demand both playability and authenticity. The pieces move with confidence across the board; the inlaid field keeps orientation clear during rapid exchanges. Tournament organisers recognise French Staunton as the standard for clubs and events where classical design matters as much as performance.
