Worked with exacting craftsmanship, it guarantees an impeccable finish and optimum durability. At Hector Saxe, only the finest skins are selected and crafted using techniques that combine tradition and innovation. Each chess set thus becomes a unique work of art, a symbol of excellence and attention to detail, true to the values of the company.

MANUFACTURING TECHNIQUES

The manufacture of a leather-wrapped backgammon relies on exceptional craftsmanship. Here are the main stages:

1. Material selection – Choice of top-of-the-range, supple and resistant leather, as well as other components (wood, alcantara, etc.).
2. Cutting and preparation – The various parts of the set are cut out with precision. (e.g. board, squares and outlines).
3. Sheathing – The leather is delicately stretched and glued to the support, with perfect adjustment of corners and edges.
4. Assembly and finishing – The backgammon parts are assembled, the hinges adjusted, and any seams or markings made.
5. Quality control and polishing – Each backgammon is checked for impeccable feel and finish before shipping.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
