This polo marquetry chess backgammon set is part of the Pilardi Atelier Collector Series, handcrafted in extremely limited editions. More than a game, it is a functional art piece made to live on a table as a statement object and to be passed down through generations.

Artistry & Craftsmanship

Approximately five weeks of meticulous artistic work are dedicated to this piece. The reversible board — chess on one side and backgammon on the other — is enriched with hand-painted miniature artwork depicting dynamic equestrian scenes rich in expression and storytelling.
A premium clear resin finish seals the artwork, enhancing depth, colour, and movement while ensuring lasting protection.

The set includes a handcrafted hard case, full chess pieces, and backgammon checkers — each element created by artisans whose mastery of miniature art and fine woodworking has been refined over generations.
