{"product_id":"ornate-medallion-carved-backgammon-board","title":"Backgammon Set Hand Carved - Symmetrical Ornaments","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBackgammon Set Hand Carved - Symmetrical Ornaments\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe interesting thing about this board is the part that has not been carved. Scrollwork runs out symmetrically across the lid, the field behind it is cut into fine cross-hatching, and then right at the centre the carver stopped and left a smooth oval of bare wood — deliberately, and with the confidence it takes to leave a gap in the middle of your own work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is there for a name. A wedding date, a set of initials, the year somebody retired: this hand-carved wooden backgammon board arrives finished and still unfinished, waiting for whatever you decide belongs at the centre of it. Or leave it exactly as it is — a plain oval surrounded by all that pattern reads as calm rather than empty. Open the clasps, let the bronze hinges swing back, and the full 23.6\" \/ 60 cm playing field is ready either way. Carry it in by the cut-out handle and let the person you are giving it to decide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackgammon board with bronze hinges, clasps and a cut-out carry handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32 checkers made from beech and walnut wood\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: 5 kg \/ 11 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWood: solid beech, with bronze hinges and clasps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEntirely handmade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy It Stands Out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSymmetrical scrollwork carved by hand across the whole lid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA hand-cut cross-hatched field behind it, right out to the border\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA smooth central oval left bare — ready for a name, a date or nothing at all\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA luxury wooden backgammon board that can be made personal without being altered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Gift You Can Finish Yourself\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost gifts arrive complete.
