About the Item
Inlaid Middle Eastern Backgammon Board and Chest Board.
This finely handcrafted Middle Eastern folding game board is exquisitely inlaid with mother-of-pearl, bone, ebony, and a rich variety of exotic hardwoods. This elegant and multifunctional piece showcases a stunning backgammon playing surface, each side adorned with geometric starbursts and intricate inlay work, meticulously handset with exceptional precision.
The exterior is patterned with alternating squares of richly grained wood and tessellated motifs, framed by intricate borders in black and white. The checkerboard design highlights a rhythmic interplay of textures and tonalities, while the inside backgammon field radiates around central medallions, echoing traditional Islamic geometric patterns. Brass hardware and crips, clean edges complete this intricate design.
This board exemplifies the high artistry of Levantine marquetry and makes for a striking addition to any games table, collector's cabinet, or as a display piece!
