Vintage Inlaid Wood Backgammon Box

Unavailable
Vintage inlaid wood and mother of pearl backgammon box, with intricate, geometric mosaic design. Purchased from a Michigan estate, this piece is a beauty. The handmade box is inlaid, inside and out, with pieces of hand-cut wood of various sizes, grains and hues, and liberally accented with mother of pearl. The interior mosaic design forms an attractive backgammon board. The handsome exterior, with an extraordinarily varied design, makes it equally suitable as a decorative box. The piece measures about 2.75 inches high, 10.25 inches wide, and 8.125 inches deep, and has a brass clasp and iron hinges. It comes with 15 black and 15 natural wood backgammon pieces. Condition is very good. Some age is evident in the patina and the wear that can be seen on the bottom. The inlay is intact with the exception of a few pieces in the lower left corner of the central rectangular design on the top of the box, which can be seen in the close-up photograph. Please refer to the 4 photographs for appearance and condition. Shipping / packaging will be $12.00.
