Beautiful vintage Italian Walnut Burl & Black Lacquer Backgammon by Dal Negro produced for the German brand Altenburg-Stralsunder 80's

Item highlights

  • Materials: Acrylic, Felt, Maple, Rosewood
  • Vintage: From the 1980s

Seller's description

This is an elegant, very handsome, vintage well-preserved backgammon set. The exterior is finished in beautiful burl wood veneer (walnut burl) with striking, swirling grain and the characteristic burl "eyes", framed by contrasting black piano-lacquer edges. The set was sold on the German market by Altenburg - Stralsunder, produced by 'Dal Negro' from Treviso, Italy, famous for its craftsmanship, who partnered with ASS to create premium products, blending Italian style with the German brand's reputation for quality. (These productions adhered to German quality standards, resulting in boards which were solid, bigger in size, heavier and sturdier than their Italian market productions.) This backgammon game dates from the 1990's.

A solid board with a real heavy feel in magnificent condition. There are almost no scratches on the outside of this game nor on the inside. This game is in perfect to nearly new condition and incorporates the well-known and original 'hidden' brass barrel hinges, a trademark of Dal Negro. The playing surface is covered in deep green baize, complemented with litho-printed points in golden yellow with ornamental scrollwork motifs, in the same style Dal Negro still uses for their sets today. And of course, like all Dal Negro boards, handmade with precision. The contrast between the warm burl wood, the glossy black piano-lacquer, the rich green baize and the golden points gives this set a distinctive, classy appearance.

A mid-size game measuring 24" x 19" (61 cm x 49 cm) open. The acrylic playing pieces in glossy black and ivory cream measure 1 1/2" (4 cm) in diameter. The game comes with two black piano-lacquered wooden dice cups, four matching dice and a doubling cube — all original to the game. A polished chrome side rail with recessed wells runs along the inner edge of the board.

A solid 4kg board of this quality will certainly last a lifetime and is a great addition to anyone's collection. The board is very beautiful thanks to its clean lines and sober, striking design and has a luxury feel to it when playing. All in all an exquisitely made set to be admired. A real gem for anyone who wants a classy, lifelong lasting piece with Italian-German flair.
