About this collection

These aren't boards you hide away. Every carved chess set in this collection features deep wood relief carving by Hrachya Ohanyan — Armenian ornamental patterns, eternity motifs, carpet designs, and pomegranate vine work, all cut into solid wood entirely by hand.

Each piece takes significantly longer to make than a standard board because the carving is done by hand from start to finish. The result is a chess set that doubles as a statement piece — something worth displaying even when the pieces are put away.

Available in sizes from 30 cm to 60 cm. Free shipping to the US, Canada and Europe on every order.

See also: classic wooden sets, Ararat outlined boards, and the full chess set collection.
