Armenian Chess & Backgammon Set Armenia Engraved - Handmade by Hrachya Ohanyan
The silhouette of Mount Ararat is not drawn on this board — it is the board. The upper edge rises and falls with the mountain's two peaks, carved in relief and textured by hand, with ARMENIA engraved beneath and grape and pomegranate at the corners. This is the authorial design of National Master Hrachya Ohanyan, in his full-size 23.6" | 60 cm format.
Two games share one board. Chess is played on the lettered and numbered field outside; open the engraved brass clasps and a backgammon field waits inside, a carved wheel ornament at the heart of each half. The checkers arrive in their own gift box, and the set travels in a canvas case with a wooden handle and the master's mark on the front.

The Authorial Ararat Outline
The Mount Ararat contour on this board is the authorial design of Hrachya Ohanyan - the signature of his workshop. You will not find this exact silhouette anywhere else: it marks each piece as an original work by the National Master, sought after by collectors of Armenian chess sets worldwide.
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. See more of his work in the Hrachya Ohanyan chess sets collection.
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 Armenian chess and backgammon set is a luxury gift that never expires - for weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, or under the Christmas tree. Solid wood, master craftsmanship and Mount Ararat itself on the horizon of the board: it will be played, displayed and passed on.

Frequently asked questions
What products do you make?
Handmade chess sets, backgammon boards and chess tables, carved by hand in Armenia.
Are your products handmade?
Yes. Every piece is handmade and handcrafted for you in Armenia, most of them in master carver Hrachya Ohanyan's workshop in Yerevan. That is why each one takes 1–2 weeks to make.
Do you ship worldwide from Armenia?
Yes. Shipping is free to the US, Canada and all of Europe; other countries pay a flat $100 for tracked delivery, and Brazil, Chile and New Zealand pay $200, always tracked and insured. Every piece is handmade and handcrafted for you, so it takes 1–2 weeks to make. Delivery then takes about 7–9 business days to the US, Canada, Europe and the UK; other regions may take a little longer. Orders over $600 travel by express courier with signature. Tables go by insured furniture freight and arrive about 2–4 weeks after they are finished.
Will I pay customs duties?
US and EU orders are delivered duties paid, so there is nothing more to pay on arrival. For other countries, import fees depend on local rules; write to us and we will help you estimate them.

You can return any order within 30 days of delivery, for any reason, worldwide. Faulty or damaged items return free; for change-of-mind returns the item must be unused in its original packaging and you cover return shipping.
