This black oak backgammon set creates a modern atmosphere, boasting a strikingly beautiful texture, with slightly wavy silver bands running through the grain (produced by interwoven silver fibres and narrow grey-coloured areas).
The game board is a combination of black oak with silver-red points.
This backgammon set is handmade using the art of marquetry, an artistic technique involving the application of veneer pieces to a structure to form decorative patterns and designs.
Our skilled craftsmen in wooden games use this method to create the interior design of the backgammon set.
The set includes: mother-of-pearl draughts (checkers) (15 brown and 15 ivory), 1 doubling cube (18 mm), 4 dice (14 mm), 2 dice shakers and a velvet pouch.
A truly beautiful, design-led and modern wooden backgammon set.
A beautiful chess set rests on a simple balance: pieces well proportioned to the size of the squares. To choose a harmonious board, the most reliable guide is the diameter of the king's base.
Key guideline: ideally, the king's base takes up about 75% of the square.
| King height | King base diameter | Square size |
|---|---|---|
| 7,3 à 7,6 cm | 3,8 cm | 4,7 à 5,1 cm |
| 9,5 à 9,8 cm | 4,4 cm | 5,7 à 6 cm |
| 10,1 cm | 4,1 à 4,7 cm | 6 cm |
| 11,2 cm | 5 cm | 6,3 cm |
| 12,7 cm et plus | 4,4 cm | 6,3 à 7 cm |
| King base diameter | Square size |
|---|---|
| 2 à 2,4 cm | 2,8 à 3,5 cm |
| 2,5 à 2,9 cm | 3,5 à 4 cm |
| 3 à 3,4 cm | 4,3 à 5 cm |
| 3,5 à 3,9 cm | 4,8 à 6,2 cm |
| 4 à 4,5 cm | 6 à 8 cm |
A board that is too small can hamper moves and make the set look cluttered. À l’inverse, a board that is too large can break the harmony of the whole. The right size brings both playing comfort and elegance.
