A one-of-one luxury chess and backgammon set, hand-painted with turquoise Tazhib motifs and finished with delicate Khatam marquetry accents.

This reversible wooden board features a chess surface on one side and a backgammon layout on the other. The composition is defined by luminous turquoise details, floral illumination, and refined geometric accents, creating a board that is both playable and highly decorative.

Overview

Part of the Pilardi collector selection, this hand-painted chess and backgammon set highlights the elegance of Tazhib-inspired miniature painting. The turquoise ornamental motifs bring softness, movement, and visual depth to the board, while subtle Khatam marquetry details enrich the chess area and backgammon points without overpowering the painted composition.

Designed as both a functional luxury board game and a decorative collector’s object, this piece is made to be played, displayed, and preserved.

Craftsmanship

The board is decorated by hand with Tazhib-style floral and geometric motifs, inspired by traditional illumination work. The painted details are applied with precision across the chess and backgammon surfaces, creating a balanced dialogue between colour, ornament, and structure.

Small Khatam marquetry accents appear in selected areas of the board, including the chess surface and backgammon points. These fine inlay details add texture and craftsmanship while keeping the focus on the hand-painted turquoise composition.

A clear protective resin finish enhances the depth and luminosity of the painted surface while helping protect the artwork over time.

This set includes a protective hard case, a full set of chess pieces, and matching backgammon checkers.
