- Dimensions: 22.75" W  x 17.5" D x 2" H

- This gorgeous backgammon set dates from the turn of the century and features an exquisite cream and blue inlaid playing surface, marquetry details, and a chess board on its back, allowing players to enjoy two games in one.

- Sourced in Provence, this set dates from a time when every sidewalk cafe and bistro kept a backgammon board for patrons’ use. Decades of enjoyment have left this piece with a rich history and beautiful patina.

- Includes 2 original leather dice cups, 2 sets of hand-carved bone dice, and 30 wooden playing pieces.

- This is the ultimate, heirloom-worthy gift, sure to be enjoyed for generations to come.

- This set is in very good antique condition, showing signs of wear consistent with age and use. Please see our detailed photos.

- Kindly note that this board is an antique original so you cannot place 5 checkers opposite 5 checkers without stacking. This spacing and proportion was the norm in Europe before the 1920s.
