Lift the hinged top and the same object becomes an Armenian backgammon table, a full playing field with bronze pomegranate-topped checkers and the dice cup already waiting inside. Two games, one piece of furniture, no cupboard involved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pomegranate is the Armenian symbol you cannot avoid and would not want to — abundance, family, a full house — and worked in bronze it sits against the pale wood like jewellery, with carved lattice running across the surfaces between. A drawer at the front takes the spare pieces, and the legs come off, so this handmade chess and backgammon table packs down into its own crate when it has to move.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolding chess and backgammon table on carved cabriole legs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32 chess pieces in beech and walnut wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32 bronze-topped backgammon checkers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDice cup and dice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront storage drawer\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\u003eClosed: 11.8 x 23.6\" \/ 30 x 60 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen playing field: 23.6 x 23.6\" \/ 60 x 60 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 27.6\" \/ 70 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 13 kg \/ 28.7 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTable material: solid beech wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChess pieces: beech and walnut wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackgammon checkers: bronze and wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemovable legs, packs into its own crate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade in Armenia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne table, two games: a chess board on top, a full backgammon field inside\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBronze pomegranates set into the corners, the legs and the drawer front\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA front drawer for the spare pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCabriole legs make it a genuine side table, not a game box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact 11.8 x 23.6\" \/ 30 x 60 cm footprint for a living room or study\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Pomegranate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Armenia the pomegranate turns up on everything worth keeping — church walls, carpets, wedding tables.
