Games & Shisha

The Fusion of Persian Games and Shisha

Persian culture has a long-standing tradition of merging games and shisha, both central to social life and leisure. From exquisitely crafted backgammon boards to artistic shisha pipes, these elements come together to offer a perfect blend of entertainment and sophistication. At Persis Collection, we offer a range of products that symbolize the essence of these Persian traditions.

The Role of Backgammon in Persian Culture

Backgammon, or “nard” in Persian, is one of the oldest board games in history, symbolizing strategy and patience. It is a game that transcends time and is often played during social gatherings, typically accompanied by a session of shisha smoking. The act of playing backgammon in Iran goes beyond just entertainment; it is part of the cultural fabric that fosters community and connection.

The game of backgammon is cherished not only for its intellectual challenge but also for the beauty of the backgammon boards themselves. At Persis Collection, we offer an array of luxury backgammon boards, all crafted with a focus on design and heritage. These boards serve as both functional game pieces and intricate works of art, meticulously designed using Khatamkari inlay, which combines wood, bone, and metal to create beautiful geometric patterns.

The Artistic Value of Khatamkari Backgammon Sets

Our gilded Khatamkari backgammon boards are particularly stunning, featuring golden motifs that transform the board into a visual masterpiece. Every element of these sets is crafted with extreme precision, ensuring that they are as enjoyable to look at as they are to play. These pieces also reflect Persian history, with designs inspired by the Achaemenid era. Whether you are a casual player or an enthusiast, these luxurious sets offer a perfect blend of art and strategy.

Modern Backgammon Sets for All Players

Whether for a friendly game at home or a backgammon competition, our collection includes high-quality backgammon tables and accessories, allowing you to enjoy this ancient game in style. Each set reflects the depth of Persian culture while adapting to today’s aesthetic preferences.

The Tradition of Shisha in Persian Culture

The tradition of shisha smoking is an essential part of Persian culture, often enjoyed during social gatherings, family events, and moments of relaxation. The shisha pipe is not just a tool for smoking but a finely crafted item that reflects the rich artistic heritage of Iran. At Persis Collection, we offer a wide range of shisha for sale, including unique designs that are as functional as they are beautiful.

The Elegance of Persian Hookah Design

Persian hookahs are known for their intricate designs and the high-quality materials used in their construction. At Persis Collection, we specialize in providing finely crafted shisha pipes that are designed to elevate your smoking experience. Our Angel Hookah collection, inspired by Achaemenid motifs, is a stunning example of Persian craftsmanship. Made with crystal, silver, and brass, these pipes are as much a statement piece as they are functional tools for smoking.

Our Dervish Hookah represents simplicity and beauty. Crafted from high-quality materials like glass and wood, this minimalist design reflects the serene and ascetic lifestyle of the dervishes. While simple in appearance, the craftsmanship is impeccable, making the Dervish Hookah not only an ideal smoking tool but also a work of art.

Shisha Tobacco: A Key Component of the Experience

No shisha experience is complete without the perfect shisha tobacco. At Persis Collection, we offer a wide variety of premium shisha tobaccos that pair perfectly with our pipes. Whether you prefer traditional Persian flavors or something more modern, we provide high-quality tobacco to enhance your shisha experience.

Shisha as a Social and Cultural Tradition

Shisha has always been more than just a pastime; it plays a significant role in Persian social traditions. In Iran, smoking a hookah is a ritual that symbolizes relaxation and companionship, especially during gatherings with friends and family. For those new to shisha, the question often arises: Is shisha a drug? While it contains nicotine, the act of smoking shisha in Persian culture is more about the social experience than any addictive quality. At Persis Collection, we offer expert advice on how to properly enjoy your shisha sessions in line with these cultural values.

Persian Craftsmanship: Backgammon, Chess, and Shisha

The intricate art of Khatamkari, used in our backgammon boards and chess sets, is a hallmark of Persian craftsmanship. This ancient inlay technique creates stunning, detailed patterns that elevate these game sets from simple entertainment pieces to timeless works of art. At Persis Collection, we take pride in offering products that reflect the heritage of Persian culture while catering to modern tastes.

Incorporating motifs from the Achaemenid era, this set stands as a testament to Persian craftsmanship. The use of gold and silver in the chess pieces and the board’s intricate designs makes this collection both visually stunning and highly valuable. Each piece tells a story rooted in Persian history, making this set a unique addition to any collection.
