A handcrafted backgammon set that brings together traditional Greek craftsmanship and the rich, distinctive grain of walnut burl. With its warm natural tones and intricate woodwork, it's a game worth leaving out on display.

The large version measures 38 × 23cm when closed, offering a generous playing surface while remaining compact enough to store easily. An excellent choice for those who want something substantial to play on without the size of a full-sized board.

The exterior is finished in walnut burl, prized for its swirling grain patterns and natural variations in colour, ranging from pale brown to deep chocolate. Each board has its own distinctive character thanks to the natural figuring of the wood.

The playing field combines walnut burl with contrasting oak and dark wenge points, creating a refined, richly textured interpretation of the traditional backgammon board.

Each set is handmade using marquetry, a traditional woodworking technique in which carefully cut pieces of veneer are applied to a surface to create decorative patterns. The result is an intricate finish that highlights the different colours and grains of the timber.

Integrated side racks provide dedicated storage for the playing pieces, keeping everything organised between games.

The set includes 30 mother-of-pearl checkers, four dice, a doubling cube and a pair of wooden dice cups.

Handcrafted in Greece by Manopoulos and presented in a branded gift box.
