Olive wood is a very hard, strong and durable wood. The heartwood is cream or yellowish-brown in colour, with darker brown wavy grain.
The playing board is a combination of olive wood with wengé and mahogany points. The board includes side supports for the checkers.
This backgammon set is handmade using the art of marquetry, an artistic technique that involves applying pieces of veneer to a structure to form decorative patterns and designs.
Our craftsmen, experienced in making this type of game, use this method to create the interior design of the backgammon board.
The set includes: 30 olive wood checkers (15 brown and 15 light brown), 1 doubling cube (18 mm), 4 dice (14 mm), 2 dice shakers and a velvet pouch.
A beautiful olive wood backgammon set, original and of fine quality, available in three sizes (see drop-down menu)
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.
