Luxury Walnut Chess & Backgammon Set - Braid and Live Edge, by Hrachya Ohanyan
This is the Ornamental Braid on its grandest canvas: a 60 cm board of solid walnut whose rim follows the tree's own live edge, so no straight line touches the outline. The basket braid is carved deep around the chessboard, and the walnut's grain runs through every square. Chess plays on the outside; open the board and the backgammon field is inside.

Why This Set Is Special
- The rim keeps the walnut's live edge - the tree decides the outline, the master decides the rest

- Two games in one board: chess on top, backgammon inside
- Created by National Master Hrachya Ohanyan, whose work is collected worldwide
Woven in Wood
Armenian carpet weavers and wood carvers have passed ornamental patterns from generation to generation - braids and geometric fields that scholars trace back centuries. This board translates that textile heritage into carved walnut.
About the Master - Hrachya Ohanyan
In 1985, National Master Ohanyan began his fine wood craft, introducing a new approach to the age-old traditions of woodworking. After many years of dedication, the Hrachya Ohanyan workshop was established in 2010. The workshop creates Armenian, classic and original models from high-quality raw materials - each set a work of art admired both locally and internationally.

14 Levels, Up to 200 Days
Every chess model passes through 14 distinct phases of production: 14 separate craftsmen make their mark on a piece of wood until it reaches its perfected form in the showrooms of Hrachya Ohanyan - a distinguished visual and qualitative experience for those who appreciate true wood artistry.
A Gift That Lasts Generations
A handmade chess and backgammon set is a gift that never expires - for weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, or your own game table. Solid walnut, master craftsmanship and a live edge no other board shares: it will be played, displayed and passed on.
