I travelled to Mexico at 17, and the desert’s vastness stuck with me. Thinking about a future trip through the American West, I designed the backgammon set I’d want to take.
A darkly beautiful tribute to the birthplace of Americana, Alexandra’s beguiling design features three species of snake alongside succulent cacti and a playful monkey crouching in the corner.
Alexandra’s design is printed by a fine art specialist using techniques usually reserved for museum-grade work, capturing every nuance, shade and detail with absolute precision.
An exact copy of the original marquetry design, reproduced on soft calf leather, the playing surface capture every nuance of grain, colour and form. The result is rich in depth, texture and detail.
Semi-precious playing pieces bring a touch of luxury to our Signature backgammon sets. Alexandra recommends the Malachite & Mother of Pearl Playing Pieces to create a striking combination to beautifully complement the rich tones of her Desert backgammon board.
