Luxury Californian Walnut Burl Backgammon Board with Classic Marquetry

Historical Legacy and Masterful Craftsmanship

Backgammon is one of the oldest known board games in the world. Its ancestors were played in ancient Mesopotamia, and the game gained massive popularity under the name Tabula among Roman legionaries, who spread it throughout Europe during their campaigns. This specific set is handmade using an ancient crafting technique known as marquetry. This involves the precise assembly and gluing of tiny pieces of veneer into beautiful geometric patterns. The playing field is formed by a combination of dark Californian walnut burl and light points crafted from cherry and oak wood.

Proper Use and Care of Natural Wood

This set is designed for two players and contains everything needed for a full game. To ensure your wooden backgammon serves you for many years and retains its flawless look, a few basic care rules must be followed. Always store the game in a dry environment and protect it from direct sunlight, which could cause the wood to fade. Use only a dry, soft cotton cloth to clean the surface. Absolutely avoid the use of harsh chemical cleaners, immersion in water, or placing hot objects on the veneered surface, as this would lead to irreversible damage to the marquetry and warping of the wood.

Along with this stylish board game, we recommend purchasing a leather pouch for the game pieces from our range, which will add the right historical atmosphere to your gaming experience in the camp.
