Its turquoise ornamental details, geometric inlay work, and hand-painted motifs create a richly layered piece, designed to be played, displayed, and kept as a collector’s object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOverview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart of the Pilardi collector selection, this chess and backgammon set brings together two decorative traditions: the precision of Khatam marquetry and the delicacy of Tazhib-inspired painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chess side features a structured playing surface framed by turquoise ornamental motifs and geometric detail. The backgammon side reveals a more decorative composition, with painted medallions, pointed fields, and finely worked accents that give the board depth and rhythm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it combines both painted ornament and marquetry detail, this edition sits among the more elaborate pieces in the Pilardi board collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCraftsmanship\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe board is made with a combination of hand-applied Tazhib-style painting and Khatam marquetry accents.

This material contrast gives the board both ornamental richness and a tactile sense of craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reversible format offers two playable surfaces: a chess board on one side and a backgammon board on the other. A clear protective resin finish enhances the luminosity of the painted and inlaid details while helping protect the surface over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis set includes a protective hard case, a full set of chess pieces, and matching backgammon checkers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Techniques\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWooden board structure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKhatam marquetry accents made from wood, bone, and brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTazhib-inspired hand-painted motifs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurquoise ornamental details\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear protective resin finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReversible chess and backgammon board\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes chess pieces and backgammon checkers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtective hard case included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoard: 49.5 × 49.5 × 6.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase: 54 × 29 × 9 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChess playing area: 28 × 28 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCollector Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis edition is a one-of-one piece.
