This large backgammon set in natural walnut is a premium game piece with a distinct handcrafted presence. The exterior, made from natural walnut veneer, and the playing field, crafted from thermo-treated oak, create a rich, understated, and highly decorative contrast.
The handmade marquetry, inlaid points, and varnished finish make it an object designed to last and to remain visible in the home. It includes mother-of-pearl checkers, dice, a doubling cube, and wooden dice cups.
Why we chose this piece
