About Armenian Chess Sets

Armenian chess sets from the Hrachya Ohanyan workshop: hand-carved wooden boards with Mount Ararat (Masis), Armenian braid and carpet ornaments or the eternity sign. Many of them are 2-in-1 sets, with a chessboard on one side and a backgammon (nardi) board on the other.

The boards range from compact 30 cm sets to 60 and 70 cm statement pieces in beech or walnut. We engrave a name, date or short wish free of charge, which makes these sets a lasting gift for players with Armenian roots.
