Backgammon Set in Burl Wood Veneer, Resin & Brass — Available in Two Colorways/Sizes
Where the Monaco announces itself, the Marbella simply arrives — and stays.
The case is burl wood veneer in warm honey and amber, its swirling grain pattern doing what burl always does: making a flat surface look alive. The clasp is a small inset piece of the same wood — no metal hardware interrupting the exterior, just clean joinery and the quiet confidence of a box that knows it doesn't need to try. The brass hinges open with the measured resistance of something built to last a generation, revealing a playing field where the two sizes part ways entirely: the 16-inch opens to a cream and parchment ground with alternating points in soft navy and taupe — the palette of a sun-filled Marbella interior; the 19-inch delivers something altogether darker, a deep slate-grey field with ivory and navy points that reads closer to a private members' club in Mayfair than a Mediterranean villa. Both are completely themselves. Neither is the wrong choice.
Select your size for the occasion — 16 inches for the weekend away and the intimate post-dinner game; 19 inches for the coffee table that demands to be taken seriously.
