The chess side presents a graphic black and gold Khatam composition, while the backgammon side opens into a deeper red, black, and gold arrangement. The result is a more elaborate collector piece, designed to be played, displayed, and preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOverview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart of the Pilardi collector selection, this Khatam chess and backgammon set highlights the precision of traditional geometric marquetry through a darker and more dramatic visual language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chess side features a structured black and gold playing surface, framed by repeated Khatam patterns and fine decorative borders. The backgammon side reveals a richer composition in red, black, and gold, with pointed fields, layered borders, and geometric detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis contrast between the two sides gives the piece a stronger sense of discovery: calm and architectural when closed, deeper and more ornate when opened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as both a functional luxury board game and a decorative collector’s object, this edition is made to bring character to a living room, library, office, or games room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCraftsmanship\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe board is made using Khatam marquetry, a traditional inlay technique based on the assembly of very small geometric elements. Wood, bone, and brass are arranged by hand to create repeated star and geometric patterns across the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts three-tone composition requires careful visual balance: black and gold on the chess side, then red, black, and gold on the backgammon side. This richer contrast gives the board a more graphic and elaborate identity within the Pilardi collection.\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 contrast and luminosity of the marquetry 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 made from wood, bone, and brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree-tone Khatam composition: black, red, and gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-assembled geometric inlay patterns\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.
