Designed as both a functional game set and a decorative object, it is equally suited for play or display on a coffee table or in a library setting.

The board opens to reveal a detailed backgammon layout on one side and a balanced chessboard on the reverse. The set includes matching backgammon checkers, a full chess piece set, and a protective storage case.

Design & Craftsmanship

Each board is assembled from hundreds of hand-cut geometric elements arranged in symmetrical marquetry patterns inspired by classical decorative traditions. The surface is enhanced with miniature hand-painted equestrian scenes and sealed beneath a protective resin finish that provides depth and durability.

Because each piece is handmade, slight variations in tone, alignment, and surface texture are natural characteristics of the craftsmanship.
