Even better than the photos

I was worried it would look cheaper in person, but it's the opposite. A lovely grain on the case, a crisp, clean board. It sits on our console and looks like it cost far more.

Feels far more expensive than it was

The weight of the pieces and the finish genuinely surprised me. Nothing about it feels flimsy. Friends assume it's a designer piece.

The gift that got the biggest reaction

Bought it for my father-in-law who has everything. He actually teared up. It came beautifully cased, so I didn't even need to wrap it.

Decor and a game in one

I bought it as much for how it looks as for playing. It lives on the coffee table and every guest comments on it. Exactly the aesthetic I wanted.

Everything in the box, ready to go

A full set of checkers, dice and cups, with nothing missing and nothing to buy separately. We were playing ten minutes after it arrived.

Our new anniversary tradition

My husband and I got this for our tenth anniversary instead of another gadget neither of us needed. We still play most Friday nights, and it's become the best kind of tradition.

H Hannah B.Verified May 5, 2026

Perfect for a beginner like me

I'd never played backgammon. The set felt so inviting that I finally learned, and now it's our weekly ritual. A great starter that doesn't look like a starter set.

K Kevin M.Verified April 9, 2026

Handles regular use beautifully

Six months of near-weekly games and the hinges and clasps are still solid, the felt still clean. Knocked one star only because I'd love a second color option.

R Robert S.Verified May 18, 2026

Worth every cent

I compared it to sets costing three times as much and honestly couldn't justify the difference. This looks and plays just as well.

A Amanda C.Verified March 6, 2026

Easy to order, easy to trust

First time buying from a newer brand, so I was cautious. Clear communication, tracking the whole way, and a no-questions return policy I didn't even need. Would buy again.

THE COLLECTION

Most beautiful objects only ask to be looked at.

A coffee-table book gets opened twice. A decanter is decoration with a job it rarely does. A backgammon set is the rare piece that earns its place twice over it holds a room on its own, then gives two people a reason to sit down for an hour. An ancient game, reframed for the way rooms are lived in now.

MATERIALS & DETAILS

Where the difference actually is.

Genuine cow leather on the roll-up sets, which darkens with handling instead of cracking. Solid wood on the Wooden Inlay, with the points inlaid rather than printed, so the pattern cannot scuff away. Premium PU leather on every other set, fine-grained and wipes clean. Checkers cast at 2 cm and weighted to sit where you place them. Every material is named exactly on every page, including where it is PU. You will know what you are buying before it arrives.

AT HOME

For the table. For the home. For generations.

On the coffee table between friends, on the library shelf between games. It doesn't get packed into a cupboard after the holidays, because there is no box to pack it into. A piece that looks as considered as the room it lives in.

FAQ

When will I receive my order?

Orders are delivered within 6 to 8 business days, and your estimated delivery date is shown at checkout.

What if the set isn't right for me?

Every order is covered by a 30-day guarantee with free returns. If it isn't what you hoped for, send it back within 30 days for a refund.

How can I be sure of the quality before ordering?

Each product page lists the real materials, dimensions and everything included. We describe every set exactly as it is, without embellishment.

And if it doesn't meet your expectations on arrival, our 30-day free-return guarantee means there is no risk in trying it.

Are the colors true to the photos?

We photograph each set to represent it as faithfully as possible. Keep in mind that screens vary, and natural materials such as wood and leather carry their own grain and veining, so small differences from one piece to the next are normal, and part of the character.

What are the exact dimensions?

Full dimensions, open and closed, are listed in the Details section of every product page, along with the checkers, dice and everything included in the box.

Is it made to be played, or just for display?

Both. Every set is a complete, playable board with its full set of checkers and dice, designed to look just as good left out on a table or shelf as it does in play.

Is my payment secure?

Checkout runs on an encrypted, PCI-compliant payment system. Your card details are never seen or stored by us.

Can I send it as a gift?

Yes. A set makes a considered gift for an anniversary, a housewarming, or a milestone birthday. You can ship an order straight to the recipient's address, and every set comes cased, so it presents beautifully on its own.

Will it still look this good in ten years?

That's the idea. Full-grain leather develops a natural patina with age, and every hinge and clasp is chosen to hold up to years of use. It's built to be part of your home for a long time, not a season.

Do you offer corporate or bulk gifting?

Yes. For client gifts, team recognition, or larger orders, get in touch through our contact page and we'll help you find the right fit.

Our Story

Handcrafted in Paris, since 2011.

PARLOR XXIV began in a small Paris atelier in 2011, with a simple conviction: the games we love deserve to be made as beautifully as the homes they live in.

Every set is handcrafted, cut, stitched, and finished by hand, and built to be played, displayed, and passed on. Not mass-produced. Made to be kept.

Est. 2011, Paris
