The Backgammon deserves at least the definition of piece of art. Designed by the maestro Bernard Maquin, boasts a style that speaks the languages of the exotic East. Moreover it is believed that the origins of the game are Mesopotamian. The inspiration for the author went to the world of “A Thousand and One Nights”, with geometric motifs cutting east. To get the effect 61,082 diamonds in black, white and yellow shades are used. Add to them the flavor of gold and silver in huge quantities to feel the splendor.
The bizarre jewel, which has already passed hand last year, requested 10 thousand hours of intense work. Any bargain on price?
