{"product_id":"grand-carved-folding-chess-set-with-bronze-pieces","title":"Luxury Chess Backgammon Set with Relief Ornament and Bronze Pieces","description":"\u003ch2\u003eLuxury Chess Backgammon Set with Relief Ornament and Bronze Pieces\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClosed, this board is a carving before it is anything else. The whole outer panel is cut in deep relief — a large ornament at the centre with scrollwork unwinding around it and a beaded edge running the rim — deep enough that the shadows shift as you walk past it. Most boards are decorated on the border. This one is carved across the face, which is a different order of work entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpen it and the object changes twice over. A full 23.6\" \/ 60 cm playing field in maple and walnut appears, framed by a hand-carved border, and inside that a backgammon layout with its points cut into the wood. So it is a chess backgammon set in the truest sense: three things in one hinged case, none of them an afterthought. The army is bronze and wood together, 32 ornate pieces with sculpted crowns on pale bases, framed by bronze coordinate markers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 8 kg it has the weight you would expect and, unexpectedly, a handle cut into the folded edge — so the grandest board in the room still closes to 23.6 x 11.8\" \/ 60 x 30 cm and goes back in its bag when the night ends. That combination, showpiece carving and honest working design, is rarer than either on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolding chess and backgammon board with a built-in carry handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32 ornate bronze-and-wood chess pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarrying bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen board: 23.6 x 23.6\" \/ 60 x 60 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolded: 23.6 x 11.8\" \/ 60 x 30 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 8 kg \/ 17.6 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: solid beech and walnut wood with bronze pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBronze coordinate markers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEntirely handmade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeep-relief ornament carved across the entire outer face, not just the border\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChess outside, a carved backgammon layout within\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32 bronze-and-wood pieces with sculpted crowns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 kg of board that still folds and carries by its own handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Gift Worth Giving\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the board you give when the gift is meant to be remembered as an event.
