Description from the seller
An exceptional, vintage large-format (50x50 cm) masterfully hand-carved wooden
3-in-1 multi-game set
dating back to the 1980s.
This piece was originally purchased in London during the 1980s as a premium import item.
It showcases traditional Armenian high-relief craftsmanship; the exterior frame features a deeply carved, continuous botanical design depicting lush grape clusters and vine leaves, symbolizing abundance and regional artistry.
This is a premium multi-purpose collector's item featuring three classic games in one single set:
1. Chess:
Played on the outer grand chessboard.
2. Backgammon (Nardi):
Played on the beautifully detailed, inlaid interior field.
3. Checkers / Draughts:
Played on the outer board using the wooden checkers.
Equipped with original vintage golden brass hinges and secure side clasps.
Provenance / History:
Acquired by the current owner's in London, during the 1980s.
It has been carefully kept in a private collection ever since.
Excellent vintage condition, beautifully preserved since the 1980s. The wooden surface displays a rich, authentic patina that enhances its historical and aesthetic value. All structural elements remain solid and fully functional.
Dimensions (Fully Opened):
50 cm x 50 cm x 4 cm
Dimensions (Closed): 50 cm x 25 cm x 8 cm
Material:Fine regional hardwood (Beech/Walnut), original vintage brass hardware.
Craftsmanship:Entirely handmade and hand-carved.
Included Components (65 Items Total).
- 1x Hand-carved foldable wooden board/case
- 32x Traditional hand-turned wooden chess pieces (complete set, featuring premium protective felt bases to prevent scratches on the board)
- 30x Smooth wooden checkers/chips used for both Backgammon and Checkers (complete set)
A stunning display piece, a historical 1980s collectible with international provenance, and a fully functional tournament-sized game set. Perfect for avid chess collectors or enthusiasts of premium vintage woodwork.
