Description from the seller

Vintage French Jacquet / Backgammon Set - Early 20th Century - Wood, Felt & Leather

Offered here is a beautiful and authentic vintage game set, specifically designed for Jacquet (the classic French variant of Backgammon). This set dates back to the early-to-mid 20th century and exudes the charm of European café culture from that era.

**Case:** Solid wood construction with a rich dark finish and original brass hardware (clasps and hinges).
**Interior:** Features a vibrant green felt playing surface. The 24 "points" (triangles) are decorated with elegant, ornate golden patterns, a signature style of French luxury game boards from the 1930s-1950s.
***Pieces:** 30 large, weighted checkers (15 light ochre/yellow and 15 black) with a smooth, polished finish.
**Accessories:** Includes two original dice and two vintage dark leather/pressed-board dice shakers (godets).

The set is in very good vintage condition considering its age. The wood shows a lovely natural patina with minor age-related wear. The felt interior is well-preserved, maintaining its bright green color, and the ornate decorations remain crisp and visible.

This is not just a board game, but a decorative piece of history. Perfect for collectors of vintage toys, French "Art de Vivre," or as a sophisticated addition to a library or game room.
Dimensions : 45.5 cm × 34.5 cm × 11.5 cm
The product will be professionally packed and sent safely to your address by local post.
The pictures of the product are made with the highest possible resolution, precisely to capture possible small defects (small scratches, stains, defect), the pictures are part of the product description.
