The heartwood can range from a paler brown to a deep chocolate brown, with dark, wavy grain patterns.

The playing board combines walnut with oak and black-coloured points.

This backgammon set is handmade using the art of marquetry; skilled craftsmen use this technique to create the board’s interior design.

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

A beautiful backgammon set, original and of fine quality, available in three sizes.

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

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.
