Handcrafted Egyptian Backgammon & Chess Board — Mother of Pearl Inlay (16.8 in)

Description

Craftsmanship & Experience

This folding game board is handmade in Egypt by skilled artisans, crafted from solid beech wood and finished with natural mother of pearl inlay. Designed to function as both a backgammon and chess board, it combines precise craftsmanship with bold geometric patterns and rich decorative detail.

When opened, the interior reveals finely inlaid triangular points for backgammon play, arranged for clarity and balance. When closed, the exterior transforms into a full chess board surface, creating a striking visual presence whether in use or on display.

The set includes 30 matching backgammon checkers and dice, sized specifically to fit the board for comfortable gameplay. Subtle variations in wood grain and inlay reflect its handmade character.

Both functional and decorative, this piece is ideal for play, display, or gifting.
