Brand new, unused leather travelling backgammon set from 'Zadig & Voltaire'

A beautiful roll-up leather travelling backgammon board from the famous French fashion house Zadig & Voltaire. Probably dating from the around 2020 this is a real collector's item, the game is in 'mint' condition - it has never been used, has no scratches, no signs of wear and the playing pieces are still in their original unopened wrappers. This travelling game is just looking for its first adventure. Unrolled, the leather playing surface measures 18 1/2" X 12" (47cm X 30cm). The 1" (2,5cm) unopened acrylic playing pieces are stored, along with the four acrylic dice, and the doubling cube, in a zippered compartment inside the roll. When not in use the roll is secured by two leather straps. The craftsmanship and attention to detail of this game are excellent. Rolled up the game measures 12" (23cm) long, with a diameter of 2" (5cm). The game is hand-made from fine-grained black leather. It is complete with its black velvet travelling bag and its original gift box. This would make a perfect gift for a loved one who likes to travel.

Since I started restoring antique and vintage backgammon boards during the Covid lockdown in 2020 I’ve sold over 500 of my games to connoisseurs in South Africa, Sweden, Scotland, the Balearic Islands, Canada, Australia, Holland, Germany, Belgium, Monaco, England, Norway, Ireland, 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 100 or so 5-star reviews here on Etsy I will happily provide written, and verifiable, references from 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 both French and English - please ask if you would like me to include one with your game. DELIVERY : Please note that within France, Belgium, Spain and some other European countries my shipper normally delivers to a 'collection point' (Relay Point) close to your home. For other EU countries and the rest of the world, the norm is home delivery. I can offer expedited delivery via UPS to most destinations. If you don't see this option please message me and I'll get you a rapid quote. INSURANCE : Please note that I do not automatically insure my boards for shipping above the 50€ minimum international cover. My shipper is 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.
