Backgammon set styled in a contemporary interior

THE COLLECTION

Most beautiful objects only ask to be looked at.

A coffee-table book gets opened twice. A decanter is decoration with a job it rarely does. A backgammon set is the rare piece that earns its place twice over it holds a room on its own, then gives two people a reason to sit down for an hour. An ancient game, reframed for the way rooms are lived in now.

MATERIALS & DETAILS

Where the difference actually is.

Genuine cow leather on the roll-up sets, which darkens with handling instead of cracking. Solid wood on the Wooden Inlay, with the points inlaid rather than printed, so the pattern cannot scuff away. Premium PU leather on every other set, fine-grained and wipes clean. Checkers cast at 2 cm and weighted to sit where you place them. Every material is named exactly on every page, including where it is PU. You will know what you are buying before it arrives.

AT HOME

For the table. For the home. For generations.

On the coffee table between friends, on the library shelf between games. It doesn't get packed into a cupboard after the holidays, because there is no box to pack it into. A piece that looks as considered as the room it lives in.

FAQ

When will I receive my order?

Orders are delivered within 6 to 8 business days, and your estimated delivery date is shown at checkout.

What if the set isn't right for me?

Every order is covered by a 30-day guarantee with free returns. If it isn't what you hoped for, send it back within 30 days for a refund.

How can I be sure of the quality before ordering?

Each product page lists the real materials, dimensions and everything included. We describe every set exactly as it is, without embellishment.

And if it doesn't meet your expectations on arrival, our 30-day free-return guarantee means there is no risk in trying it.

Are the colors true to the photos?

We photograph each set to represent it as faithfully as possible. Keep in mind that screens vary, and natural materials such as wood and leather carry their own grain and veining, so small differences from one piece to the next are normal, and part of the character.

What are the exact dimensions?

Full dimensions, open and closed, are listed in the Details section of every product page, along with the checkers, dice and everything included in the box.

Is it made to be played, or just for display?

Both. Every set is a complete, playable board with its full set of checkers and dice, designed to look just as good left out on a table or shelf as it does in play.

Is my payment secure?

Checkout runs on an encrypted, PCI-compliant payment system. Your card details are never seen or stored by us.

Can I send it as a gift?

Yes. A set makes a considered gift for an anniversary, a housewarming, or a milestone birthday. You can ship an order straight to the recipient's address, and every set comes cased, so it presents beautifully on its own.

Will it still look this good in ten years?

That's the idea. Full-grain leather develops a natural patina with age, and every hinge and clasp is chosen to hold up to years of use. It's built to be part of your home for a long time, not a season.

Do you offer corporate or bulk gifting?

Yes. For client gifts, team recognition, or larger orders, get in touch through our contact page and we'll help you find the right fit.

Our Story

Made to be played. Built to be kept.

PARLOR XXIV began with a board, not a business plan. A small, independent team that kept coming back to backgammon: the long evenings it holds, the way a good set outlives the game itself. Every set is chosen for how it wears over years, not how it photographs on day one. Made to be played, displayed, and passed on.
