Carved Chess Set with Lattice and Backgammon Inside

Carved Chess Set with Lattice and Backgammon Inside

Look closely at the frame of this carved chess set and the wood seems woven — a precise hand-cut lattice running the whole way around, strand over strand, as if the carver braided the board instead of carving it. It is the kind of detail you notice on day one and keep noticing for years.

The surprise is inside: fold the chessboard open and a complete backgammon set appears, ready for the evenings when dice sound better than strategy. At 15.7" / 40 cm with 32 wooden chess pieces, 32 checkers, dice and a carrying bag, this handmade chess backgammon set earns its place on the most contested shelf in the house.

Why it stands out

A lattice forgives nothing — every crossing must land true or the weave unravels to the eye. Cut, carved and finished entirely by hand, no two boards alike. A wooden chess set with craftsmanship you can trace with a finger, and a second game hiding under the first.
