The Staunton chess set has been by far the most popular wooden (and plastic) chess set since 1849. It was named after Howard Staunton, the 19th century English chess master and was manufactured by Jaques of London, a 19th century English company that manufactured sporting and gaming equipment.
One of the most exquisite (and therefore arguably "the best") chess sets ever produced is the Lewis chess set. It was handmade from walrus ivory in the 12th century Norway and was discovered on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland, in 1839. The unique design has been very popular with connoisseur chess players ever since.
