Luxury Backgammon Table with Rearing Horses

Luxury Backgammon Table with Rearing Horses

Closed, this is a side table with two horses on it — a black one and a cream one, inlaid rather than painted, both up on their hind legs in the middle of the lid with carved scrollwork running round them. It stands on its own cabriole legs at proper height, so it holds a corner of a room the way a piece of furniture does, and nothing about it announces that there is a game inside.

Then you open it flat and a full 23.6" / 60 cm playing field appears, with 32 checkers in beech and walnut, a dice cup and dice. That is the argument for a backgammon table over a board: nobody has to clear the coffee table, nobody fetches anything, and the height is right for two people in armchairs. You sit down and play, and when you are done it folds shut and goes back to being furniture.

A Gift Worth Giving

Every table is finished by hand, so no two are exactly alike. This is the gift for a house where nardi gets played properly — it arrives with its own bag and never needs putting away.
