Handcrafted Egyptian Backgammon & Chess Board — Mother of Pearl Inlay (14 in)

Description

This folding game board is handmade in Egypt by skilled local artisans, crafted from solid beech wood and detailed with natural mother of pearl inlay. Designed to serve as both a backgammon and chess board, it reflects a long tradition of precision woodworking and decorative geometry.

When opened, the interior reveals finely balanced triangular points for backgammon play, framed by symmetrical inlay patterns. When closed, the exterior presents a full chess board surface, making the piece equally suited for play or display. The contrast between warm wood tones and luminous mother of pearl gives the board a refined, vintage character.

The set includes 30 matching backgammon checkers and dice, sized specifically to fit the board for comfortable gameplay. Every element is handcrafted, resulting in subtle variations that highlight its artisanal quality.

More than a game set, this piece functions as functional craftsmanship — designed for enjoyment, display, and gifting.
