PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Celebrate the timeless artistry of Damascus with the Sham Heritage Chess & Backgammon Set, a handcrafted masterpiece that beautifully combines tradition, craftsmanship, and two of the world's most beloved strategy games.
Lovingly handmade in Syria, this elegant folding game set showcases the renowned art of Damascene marquetry—a centuries-old woodworking tradition passed down through generations of skilled artisans. Each piece is carefully crafted using natural hardwood and genuine mother-of-pearl, creating intricate geometric patterns inspired by the rich architectural and artistic heritage of Old Damascus.
Designed with both beauty and functionality in mind, this versatile 2-in-1 game set features a classic chess board on one side and a traditional backgammon board on the other, allowing you to enjoy two timeless games in a single handcrafted piece.
The board folds neatly into a compact storage case, keeping the handcrafted chess pieces, backgammon checkers, and accessories safely organized inside. A classic brass clasp securely closes the case, making it easy to store, display, or take with you wherever you go.
Whether displayed on a coffee table, enjoyed during family gatherings, or placed in a home library or office, the Sham Heritage Chess & Backgammon Set brings warmth, elegance, and authentic Syrian craftsmanship into any space. More than just a game set, it is a celebration of cultural heritage and the remarkable artistry of Damascus.
Because every set is handcrafted, slight variations in the wood grain, mother-of-pearl, and mosaic patterns make each piece truly one of a kind.
