Skull Marquetry Poker Set by Alexandra Llewellyn

Alexandra Llewellyn is home to the world’s most extraordinary backgammon boards, luxury games and bespoke pieces of furniture. Instantly recognisable for their artistry and craftsmanship, each product is handmade by expert British artisans, using materials of peerless quality. Applying her training as a fine artist and interest in heritage craft to a medium she had adored since childhood, Alexandra seized the opportunity to create backgammon boards that are beautiful objects in their own right, launching her eponymous brand in 2010. Since then, the brand’s reputation, and reach, has gone global, however the techniques used to bring Alexandra’s designs to life remain rooted in traditional British heritage crafts. She works closely with a host of UK-based artisans, including marquetry experts, master joiners, a leather artist, stone setters, silversmiths, resin casters, marble carvers and a specialist in hand-lacquering, who apply their time-honoured skills to create the brand’s exquisite backgammon boards, poker sets, cards boxes, jewellery and watch boxes, humidors and games tables.
