Backgamon

For centuries, backgammon has travelled between cultures, interiors and generations, its appeal lying as much in the ritual of play as in the object itself.

Henry de Freycinet approaches the game through the language of the House, creating a piece intended to feel equally at home on a journey, in a library or at the centre of an evening shared with friends.

Its character comes from balance: between play and display, tradition and contemporary restraint, utility and pleasure.

Every interaction with the piece, from opening the case to arranging the board and playing pieces, is part of the experience. The object is conceived not merely to contain a game, but to give that ritual a lasting physical presence.

Opened for an evening, carried on a journey or kept within an interior, the Backgammon reflects the House’s enduring relationship with travel, companionship and objects designed to remain.

The Henry de Freycinet Backgammon is conceived as both a functional game and an object to be preserved over time.

Please refer to the product specifications for its exact dimensions, materials and included playing pieces. Do not introduce technical details that are not currently documented in WooCommerce or the confirmed product data.

Keep the set away from prolonged moisture, excessive heat and direct sunlight. Avoid abrasive or chemical cleaning products on the exterior, playing surface or pieces.

Dust gently with a clean, soft and dry cloth. Playing pieces should be stored carefully when the set is not in use to protect both the pieces and playing surface.

For advice regarding deeper cleaning or restoration, please contact the House.

The Henry de Freycinet Lifestyle collection extends the language of the House beyond travel, bringing craftsmanship, ritual and considered design into objects intended for moments at home.

Each piece is conceived around its use, whether through the ritual of a game, the preservation of a collection or the pleasure of an object kept within an interior. Proportion, material character and finishing are approached with the same restraint that runs throughout the House's collections.

These are objects designed not simply to be displayed, but to be handled, enjoyed and allowed to acquire their own history over time.

Each piece is carefully inspected before leaving the House.

Each piece is inspected and carefully prepared for transport before dispatch from France. Tracking information is provided once the order has been entrusted to the carrier where available.
