The leather comes from Tuscany, a region renowned for its centuries‑old vegetable‑tanning tradition, where natural tannins and time are essential to achieving this unique character.
The leather offers a perfect glide and unique feel for every move, while absorbing dice noise for a quieter, more enjoyable backgammon game.
Beyond touch, this leather is distinguished by its noble scent, adding an extra dimension of luxury to each backgammon board.
Instead of wearing out, the leather develops a unique patina over time, so your leather backgammon set becomes more beautiful with every game.
Sourced from the only region in Italy (between Florence and Pisa) renowned for high‑quality vegetable‑tanned leather, trusted by luxury leather goods and bespoke gaming pieces alike.
It uses an ancient vegetable‑tanning method with natural tannins, requiring time and expert craftsmanship to transform raw materials into refined, handcrafted backgammon boards.

Passionate about backgammon and heir to the expertise of my father, David Naylor, I have been designing and crafting luxury leather backgammon boards for over 30 years.
Each board is entirely handcrafted, a unique piece made in small quantities for discerning players around the world. I work alone in my workshop and personally oversee every stage of the board’s design, from the selection of premium Italian leather to the final finish.
Every detail and finish reflects the character of the Tuscan vegetable‑tanned leather I have been working with for decades.
In this workshop, every board begins as a raw piece of premium Tuscan leather and is transformed, step by step, into a refined work of craftsmanship.
Each creation is shaped entirely by hand, guided by decades of expertise and an uncompromising dedication to quality.
Here, time slows down. Materials are selected one by one, tools bear the marks of years of mastery, and every gesture carries intention.
From the cut of the leather to the precision of the stitching, each detail reflects a pursuit of perfection that defines true luxury and truly handcrafted backgammon boards.
The checkers glide. The leather responds. The dice fall softly. From the first move, you feel the difference of a board designed not just to be played, but to be experienced – where every detail serves the game, and every game becomes a moment of focus and pleasure.
Display it. Play it. Pass it down. These boards are made to live with you – on your coffee table, in your study, on a weekend escape. They are designed to be admired, used and treasured, transforming every game into a ritual you’ll want to share and remember.
