Luxury Epoxy Chess Table with Tree of Life

Luxury Epoxy Chess Table with Tree of Life

Most of the time this is simply a beautiful side table. It stands on curved cabriole legs at proper table height, and the top carries a hand-carved Tree of Life picked out with blue epoxy — the kind of thing a guest walks past, stops, and comes back to. Nobody looking at it closed would guess what it does.

Then you unfold it. The whole top opens into a full 23.6" / 60 cm playing field, the dark squares poured in deep blue epoxy against solid beech, with the turned pieces waiting in their places around the border. That is the pleasure of this handmade chess table: you do not carry a board to it, you do not clear anything away first. You open the table and the game is already there, at the right height, in the middle of the room.

Why You'll Love It

• Furniture first, game second — it earns its place in the room before anyone plays on it
• A carved Tree of Life on the closed top, one of the oldest symbols in Armenian ornament
• Deep blue epoxy squares that hold their colour under lamplight
• Pieces stored around the border, so nothing goes missing between games

The Tree of Life

The Tree of Life has been carved into Armenian stone, wood and cloth for well over a thousand years — branches, roots and fruit read as one continuous line, family running forward and back at the same time. Carving it onto the lid of a table where generations will sit down opposite each other is not an accident.

A Gift Worth Giving

This is the sort of luxury chess table that gets given once and talked about for years — for a wedding, a new house, a father who has been playing on a folded-up board for a decade. It arrives as furniture and stays as a habit.
