The rich colouring and stunning patterns of walnut burl wood make this veneer ideal for creating a truly one-of-a-kind backgammon set.

No two pieces of walnut burl are alike, even from the same tree species, their appearance can vary considerably.

The gameboard combines walnut burl veneer with inlaid points in walnut and oak wood.

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 skilled craftsmen in wooden games use this method to create the interior design of the backgammon set.

The set includes: 30 mother-of-pearl chequers (15 brown and 15 ivory), 1 doubling cube (18 mm), 4 dice (14 mm), 2 dice cups and a velvet pouch.

A designer, luxury backgammon set crafted from beautiful materials with exquisite finishing touches.

Size Guide (Pieces & Boards)

Matching Guide

Choosing the right board size

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.

Traditional wooden chess sets

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

Metal, resin, pewter, brass or themed sets

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.
