A full 23.6″ \/ 60 cm handmade wooden chess set with no carving on the frame at all — just a wide band of smooth, hand-finished beech around a checkered field of light and dark wood, the ranks and files carved neatly into the border, and the grain doing all the decorating. If you have ever wanted a serious chess board that does not shout, this is the one: the pieces are the same hand-carved figures as on the ornamented sets, and the board lets them stand out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpen the bronze clasps and it becomes a handmade backgammon set: clean carved points, a plain inlaid circle in the centre of each half, checkers in two woods.

Every board passes through 14 stages of production, with 14 separate craftsmen leaving their mark before it reaches its finished form — a piece of wood artistry admired both in Armenia and around the world.
