Travel Backgammon / Professional Roll-Up Backgammon

£445.00 – £669.00

Forget the unplayable roll-up backgammon sets on the market – no serious player will use these – Geoffrey Parker has created a hard-sided roll-up backgammon!

Utilising new technology our craftsmen & women print your backgammon colour design directly onto our leather, the playing field is then bound to two magnetic leather sides with 3 ‘loose’ sides that magnetise into place creating a rigid, hard sided backgammon. Once rolled up, the “board” and walls stow neatly within a drawstring bag which also houses acrylic stones/checkers, dice and doubling cube. Although we can make dice cups as an extra, we feel that the main point of the board is to keep it as light and easily stowable as possible within one’s luggage.

Once you choose the size of Roll-Up Backgammon that works best for you a member of our design team will be in contact to help design your perfect travel backgammon.

Travel Backgammon

The perfect gift for those who love to travel; our professional Travel Backgammon is lightweight and small enough to slide into a suitcase; our Roll-Up Backgammon is perfect for any travelling player. Back in 1961 when we first started making Backgammon, we had an idea for rolling up our boards for travel but as inlayers of leather and not stitchers; we could see no way of doing this without the inlays lifting. Fast forward 50 years and whilst working on our family board games with new technology that allowed us to print on leather; suddenly we realised that our design could now work.

Whether you’ll be playing in a cafe in the sunshine or in a log cabin by a fire after a day on the slopes; our travel backgammon is the perfect size to pack on every holiday. The board is magnetised and unclips to enable you to roll it up around itself. The board comes with a Geoffrey Parker bag which the roll-up backgammon slides into. The travel backgammon set features our acrylic stones these are lighter than our traditional leather stones making them more suitable for short-haul travel.

Colour Options and Personalisation

Our Roll-Up Backgammon playing fields can be made almost any colour combination. For the frames, we offer Black, Brown, Red and Navy blue; please note, we do not recommend trying to match the printed leather board to the tanned leather frame. The two colours will never match perfectly as they are coloured in very different ways – so it is recommended that a contrasting colour should be chosen.

Acrylic stones/checkers are available in black, red and white. Standard spot dice and doubling cube in Ivory colour.

The lighter colours show the spin markings making the skins even more exotic in look. Unlike most snake skins, water snake does not have scales that lift up, as this would be a problem when playing a friction-based game like Backgammon.

    These boards are available with a Swarovski trim to add an extra sparkle or without, the choice is with you as always. As we often order in the snakeskin to order please submit an enquiry and we can discuss colour options and lead times.

    Super Luxury Chess Set

    £4,420.00
    The original award-winning design…

    Created by Geoffrey in the 1960’s evolving through a number of designs and metals – always with leather inlays; editions were tried in brass, aluminium and eventually, London hallmarked Sterling silver with 3 microns of gold leaf was settled on as the final design.

    Going on to win the Design Centre award for their 1977 edition which was created to celebrate HM The Queen’s Silver Jubilee. A matching inlaid leather chessboard was created with a Sterling silver-gilt hall-marked frame which is, in turn, inlaid with leather also.

    A pair of beautiful suede lined leather-bound book-boxes keep these previous pieces safely. Since those days we have introduced on almost all of our chess sets extra Queens and our Silver Jubilee set is no exception. The King’s Rook (Castle) and Knight have crowns embossed in gold to identify them from the Queen’s (the Bishops are considered “divine” without allegiance to Crown).

    This magnificent set is available in any of our Dauphin calf colours (see below) or of course in Alligator, Ostrich or Water Sanke if preferred. Similarly, the set can be made just in Sterling silver or in solid Gold, rather than Silver-gilt – please ask for pricing on these different versions.

    Silver Jubilee Chess Cabinet

    £3,430.00

    Those pieces, of course, had a significant price tag especially as the pieces had to be balanced and meet the approval of the venerable United States Chess Federation as to an ideal playing weight. Therefore with the cost of silver and gold, although this was admired by many; few could afford it in its opulent original presentation. So in the mid-eighties, Max experimented like his father with all manner of materials, from a graphite coated aluminium with extra weights but finally finishing in a solid brass with chrome plating, which looks stunning and allowed folk to own this magnificent design themselves without having to break the bank.

    The King’s playing pieces; the Rook and Knight are embossed with his crown (the Bishops being divine without allegiance to Crown only to God) and of course, there is a pair of extra Queens as well. The set is hand inlaid throughout in our Dauphin calf leather (see below colour swatch). A slim leather-bound cabinet presents and protects these beautiful pieces set into black felt – a matching inlaid leather chessboard can be ordered separately.
