THE BACKGAMMON, A THOUSAND-YEAR-OLD GAME OF CHANCE
Mesopotamia, Egypt, Persia or India? The origins of this game may be mysterious, but it is as popular as ever. Backgammon is a game of luck and strategy for two players, requiring each to roll a pair of dice to move their stones (or checkers) around a board according to a set of rules. The object is to get all the checkers in one place and then remove them from the board. The first to ‘bear out’ all of their checkers wins.
Backgammon is a footrace, a delicate balance between risk-taking and caution. The double preoccupation of advancing one’s checkers as quickly as possible, while slowing down the opponent’s progress, brings to the game this richness of attitudes and techniques, allowing intrepid players, as well as the cautious or calculating sort, to express themselves and take great pleasure in it.
AN HAUTE COUTURE BACKGAMMON
Synonymous with savoir-vivre, backgammon is both a tactical game and a pleasant pastime. Pierre Salanitro proposes a unique object, made from Swiss wood species and manufactured in an uncompromising Haute Couture spirit.
Truly unique, this luxury backgammon with its elegant design and the exceptional quality of its materials is handcrafted in Switzerland by the best craftsmen, masters of their art, with the greatest attention to detail. For the finishing touch, Pierre Salanitro has availed himself of the best sheath makers and leather craftspeople.
THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THIS PRECIOUS OBJECT IS AN EXCEPTIONAL GIFT, ONE TO BE PASSED DOWN TO FUTURE GENERATIONS.
BLACK DIAMONDS AND BLUE SAPPHIRES
The brand’s signature is in the detail: the checkers are set with black diamonds or blue sapphires along their periphery, as are the 24 points (the wedges) on the board. The dice cup, entirely finished in anthracite leather, bears the S by Salanitro logo; finally, the doubling cube is set with 137 black diamonds that make up the numbers on each side of the dice.
