Inspired by the deserts of the Wild West, Alexandra Llewellyn's backgammon set is an exhibition of fine marquetry. Handcrafted in England, it's made from five different woods with weighted counters, shakers, and embossed die all wrapped in pebble-grain leather. It's decorated with cacti, a monkey and tropical snakes, the wood has been scorched to mimic the pattern of a python.
