Beautiful TAG-Heuer leather travelling backgammon

A beautiful soft-leather travelling backgammon board from the luxury watch-maker TAG Heuer. A real collector's item, probably from the 2010s, this game is in 'as new' condition - no scratches, no signs of wear. This game is just looking for its next adventure. Unrolled, the leather playing surface measures 14" X 11" (36cm X 28cm). The 1" (2,5cm) acrylic playing pieces are stored, with the four wooden dice, and the wooden doubling cube, in a zippered compartment inside the roll. When not in use the roll is secured by a leather strap and buckle. Rolled up the game measures 11 1/2" (29cm) long, with a diameter of 2 1/4" (6cm). The game is hand-made from very fine-grained soft leather, indeed I've rarely seen a leather travelling game in such good condition. So often they bear the scars of their travels. The craftsmanship and attention to detail of this game are remarkable.

Since I started restoring antique and vintage backgammon boards during the Covid lockdown in early 2020 I’ve sold over 500 of my games to connoisseurs in South Africa, Sweden, Hong Kong, Scotland, the Balearic Islands, Canada, Australia, Holland, Germany, Belgium, Monaco, Mauritius, England, Ireland, Norway, Portugal, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, and of course my home-country, France ... but also in New York, Arizona, Georgia, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Alabama, Virginia, Colorado, Tennessee, Washington state, New Hampshire, Idaho, Wyoming, Texas, Pennsylvania, Indiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, California, Oregon, Maine, New Jersey, Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Wisconsin, Maryland, Georgia, Alaska and Puerto Rico. My clients include minor European royalty; national and international backgammon champions; people who can’t play backgammon; British, Austrian, Italian and French aristocracy … and an awful lot of people who just love to play backgammon on these beautiful, historically-charged boards. In addition to the 150+ verified 5-star reviews here on my site, I will happily provide you with contact details for some of my private clients if you so wish.

NOTA : I usually have a variety of vintage instruction / rules booklets, for backgammon and jacquet, in French or English - please ask if you would like me to include one, free of charge, with your game. DELIVERY : Please note that within France, Belgium, Spain, Germany and some other European countries my usual shipper is Mondial Relay which normally delivers to a 'collection point' (Relay Point) close to your home. For the rest of the world, I generally use FedEx, and the norm is home delivery. I can offer expedited delivery to most destinations. If you don't see this option please message me and I'll give you a rapid quote. INSURANCE : Please note that I do NOT automatically insure my boards for damage during shipping. My shippers are highly reliable and I very rarely have issues, but accidents can always happen. If you would like me to insure your purchase to its full value there will be a small charge. Please let me know by message and I will set this up.
