Wholesale Handcrafted Backgammon Chess Set – Luxury Khatam Kari Design

This handcrafted backgammon chess set is a refined dual-game piece created using traditional Khatam Kari marquetry. Warm natural woods, brass inlay, and hand-applied decorative motifs come together to form a board designed equally for play and display. The full-size format opens to reveal a richly patterned backgammon interior and includes matching checkers and a complete set of chess pieces. Whether placed on a coffee table, used for evening games, or offered as a meaningful collectible, this handcrafted backgammon chess set carries the unmistakable character of Persian craftsmanship and slow, deliberate making. Design & Composition Produced in small batches exclusively for Pilardi, each board is assembled from hundreds of hand-cut geometric elements arranged in symmetrical patterns inspired by classical Khatam artistry. The backgammon side features detailed shamseh and rosette motifs, while the reverse presents a clean, balanced chessboard framed with turquoise accents. Designed for regular use, it remains visually striking enough to stand as a decorative object even when not in play. Craftsmanship Each panel of this handcrafted backgammon chess set is built using the Khatam Kari technique — a meticulous marquetry process in which tiny pieces of wood, brass, and natural bone are cut, aligned, and pressed together to form repeating star patterns. The surface is then hand-finished, polished, and sealed for long-term durability. Hand-painted miniature motifs are applied with fine brushwork, giving every board its own expressive character. Subtle variations in tone, alignment, or texture naturally occur and are considered signatures of the artisan’s hand, making each piece genuinely one of a kind.
