ID FT-17529

One of the world’s oldest and most loved games, so beautifully designed you’ll want to leave it on display even when it’s not in play. The Black Cork Backgammon Set from Manopoulos will make a perfect gift for the traditional games enthusiast and a delightful addition to any living room or games room. The case is expertly hand crafted using the traditional art of marquetry. Natural cork is used to decorate the exterior, each piece featuring unique pattern and character of the cork, meaning no two sets are the same. Twin branded gold tone clasps open to an exceptionally quiet cork playing surface. Grey and natural cork points sit in contrast against the dark cork background. Colour coded wooden checkers, 2 pairs of dice, a doubling cube and a set of wooden shakers are included – everything you need for a game. Add personalised engraving to a brass plate to the exterior of the box for the ultimate gift.
