This luxury handcrafted Persian chess and backgammon board is a timeless work of art that unites functionality, tradition, and elegance. Crafted by master artisans, it features two games in one—chess on one side and backgammon on the other—each surface adorned with unique Persian artistry.
On the backgammon side, the board reveals a butterfly-shaped layout with hand-painted gilded motifs at the center. These shimmering designs, full of color and symbolism, are framed with the finest Khatam Kari inlay—tiny pieces of wood, bone, and metal arranged in flawless geometric harmony. The white points of the board are made of natural oyster shell, glowing with depth and iridescence.
On the chess side, alternating Khatam patterns form the squares, bordered with elegant wooden strips. The board’s outer edges curve gracefully in semicircular arcs, a signature of Persian Khatam artistry. Around the chessboard, hand-painted gilded artwork shines in shades of gold, blue, and green, echoing centuries of Persian miniature and decorative art.
Even when closed, this luxury game board reflects fine craftsmanship. Custom-carved wooden corner guards protect its edges, ensuring durability without compromising beauty—a detail carefully executed by a master carpenter.
Whether enjoyed in play or displayed as a collector’s treasure, this Persian chess and backgammon board is more than a game—it is a living story of Persian heritage and artisanal mastery.

Polo Painting on the Chess & Backgammon Board
This exquisite handcrafted chess and backgammon set is adorned with an authentic Persian painting of a polo match (Chogan) — an ancient sport with roots in Iran dating back over 3,000 years. Polo is recognized as the first team sport in history, and in Persian tradition, it has always been a symbol of culture, artistry, and nobility.
The artwork vividly portrays Persian horsemen riding purebred horses, engaged in the thrilling game of polo. It reflects the elegance, skill, and grandeur of ancient Iran. More than just a pastime, polo was once a training ground for princes and military commanders — a blend of entertainment, athleticism, and martial discipline.
This painting on the board is a reminder of polo’s special place in the royal courts of Persia, where it was cherished by kings, nobles, and warriors. It is not merely a sport but a symbol of Persian heritage and pride.
By owning this luxurious chess and backgammon set, you are not just purchasing a game board — you are bringing home a piece of Persian history and culture.
