A bronze one keeps its harvest too. At the centre of this luxury backgammon set the tree of life is worked in bronze and pale wood, hung with coral-red fruit that will be exactly as ripe in thirty years as it is today, with two smaller bronze trees set either side and the whole field behind them hand-cut into fine cross-hatching so nothing competes with the metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bronze does not stop at the carving. There is an ornate cast handle along the top edge, bronze hardware throughout, and — unusually — bronze in the checkers themselves, so half the pieces have real weight when you set them down. At 6 kg \/ 13.2 lb this is a substantial object, and lifting it by that handle is the moment most people understand what they are holding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen it opens. The clasps release, the hinges swing, and the full 23.6\" \/ 60 cm playing field arrives underneath all that ceremony. That is the pleasure of a board at this level: it looks like something that should live on a sideboard, and it turns out to be the best thing in the house to actually play on. The tree of life is Armenia's oldest promise about continuity — this one simply keeps it in metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackgammon board with bronze hinges, clasps and an ornate bronze carry handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32 checkers made from beech wood and bronze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA pair of dice and a carrying bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolded: 30 x 60 cm \/ 11.8 x 23.6\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen playing field: 60 x 60 cm \/ 23.6 x 23.6\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 6 kg \/ 13.2 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWood: solid beech, with bronze details, hinges and clasps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade in Armenia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy It Stands Out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA bronze tree of life with coral-red fruit, flanked by two smaller bronze trees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn ornate cast bronze carry handle — made to be admired, not just used\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheckers in beech and bronze, with real weight in the hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA luxury Armenian backgammon board finished to the same standard on every surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Gift That Ends the Search\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the board for the person who already owns a good one.
