Hermès Luxury: Spectacular Vintage Mahogany and Leather Backgammon Set Complete with all Accessories in Superior Pre-Owned Condition. Hermès, the French luxury design house has been making elegant goods and lifestyle accessories along with their perfumes, silks and other fashion items for 185 years. No better example of the detail and craftsmanship they are known for can be seen in this luxurious backgammon set. Large in size, 21 x 23" when opened, this boxed set is of the finest Indonesian mahogany and Taurillon leather. The premium top stitching adds immeasurably to the appeal and when the box is closed, the lid itself is covered in Taurillon leather as well as the base. The accessories are first class with the pips also mahogany with each side covered in leather, and also has two elegant mahogany tumblers, two pairs of dice and one doubling cube. Board has scant evidence of play. (We note one tiny chip to top back edge of box, nearly invisible.) Board did not come in a Hermès box, instead a large drawstring Hermès heavy cotton drawstring sack. An impressive set by any measure with sophistication and function to spare.
