Classic Chess & Backgammon Set with Braid Ornament, 60 cm

Both games get room to spare on the 60 cm (about 24 in) board of this classic chess and backgammon set (nardi), whose surface is engraved with an ornamental braid. The board itself is carved from one piece of beech, a wood with a straight grain and a fine, even texture.

Bronze castings supply the letters and numbers beside the chess field. Backgammon, often named as one of the oldest games people still play, moves at the pace of the dice but is steered by the players: quick, flexible minds and a sound reckoning of what each sequence of moves will bring decide the outcome. A board this large draws onlookers, so a game between two players easily becomes an evening for the whole table.
