This luxurious dual-sided game board is a masterpiece of Persian craftsmanship, designed for playing backgammon on one side and chess on the other.
When fully opened, the backgammon board reveals a butterfly-inspired design, framed by the finest Khatam Kari (Persian marquetry). At its center, two hexagonal Khatam inlays showcase hand-painted gilded motifs, each crafted with vivid colors and intricate, magical patterns.
The seating area for game pieces and the four surrounding walls are richly adorned with Khatam, composed of delicately combined wood, metal, and bone. These elements are precisely arranged by skilled artisans to create stunning geometric designs.
The white surfaces of the backgammon field are formed from natural oyster powder, intricately decorated with graceful patterns. The top edge of the backgammon board features an oyster inlay, further enhanced with gilded designs in each corner and center, while black spiral motifs elegantly connect these highlights. The outer edge is completed with a meticulous arrangement of white and brown wooden pieces, seamlessly integrated for an added touch of sophistication.
On the chess side, the board’s squares alternate between Khatam marquetry and oyster, each square framed by slender wooden borders for enhanced contrast and elegance. Surrounding the board, the artisan’s mastery in Persian gilding art is on full display with vivid visual designs in gold, green, blue, and other rich colors.
To ensure durability, the board features small protective wooden pieces at each outer corner when closed, expertly installed by seasoned carpenters to safeguard the delicate Khatam work.
