Handcrafted Egyptian Backgammon & Chess Board — Mother of Pearl Inlay (21 in)

Description

This large-format folding game board is handmade in Egypt by skilled artisans, using solid beech wood and finely cut natural mother of pearl inlay. Designed to function as both a backgammon and chess board, it reflects a high level of craftsmanship, precision, and decorative balance.

When opened, the interior reveals carefully aligned triangular points for backgammon play, framed by circular and geometric inlay patterns that add visual depth without overwhelming the layout. When closed, the exterior forms a full chess board surface, allowing the piece to transition easily between games or serve as a striking display object.

The set includes 30 matching backgammon checkers, dice, and a carrying bag, all sized specifically to complement the board. Subtle variations in wood grain and inlay highlight the handmade nature of each piece.

Both functional and visually impressive, this board is well suited for serious play, display, or gifting.
