Palma de Mallorca 19" Backgammon Set

Details & Dimensions 19" Backgammon Set in Espresso Burl Wood Veneer with Olive Interior & Brass Hardware The Palma de Mallorca is not the set you travel with. It is the set you travel home to. Where the Geneva collection offers leather and portability, the Palma de Mallorca is resolved entirely in wood — a deep espresso burl veneer wrapping every surface of the exterior, its swirling grain dense and dark and almost hypnotic in the way that the richest burl always is, sealed to a lacquer-smooth finish that catches light like polished tortoiseshell. The brass clasp is inset flush into the front edge — no handle, no carry hardware, nothing interrupting the unbroken expanse of dark wood — just the one small rectangle of gold that signals where to open it. And when you do: a playing field in deep olive, its matte surface absorbing light rather than reflecting it, points cut in alternating dark army green and soft parchment white that creates a board of genuine drama without a single bright color in sight. The flat-disc checkers in ivory and near-black sit against it with the quiet authority of objects that know exactly where they belong. The brass hinges — visible at the spine — are the only other metal in the composition, and they are exactly enough. Closed, it lives on a coffee table or library shelf as an object of serious intent. Open, it commands the room. Dimensions: 19" x 12.5" x 2.75"
