Description

Dal Rossi Crocodile Engraved Dark Tan 45cm Backgammon Set

The Dal Rossi Crocodile Engraved Dark Tan 45cm Backgammon Set is the darker counterpart to the Dal Rossi Crocodile Engraved Light Tan set — the same premium construction and inlaid playing surface, with a deep dark brown crocodile-engraved PU leather exterior that gives the case a richer, more dramatic character.

Open the case and the walnut and rosewood inlaid playing surface is as considered as the exterior — warm timber tones, cream and dark backgammon points, and a diamond inlay motif at the centre of the board. Two crocodile-embossed brown leather dice cups, cream and brown checkers, dice, a doubling cube, and a Dal Rossi branded black velvet pouch are all included. Everything needed for a full game of backgammon is inside, presented with the craftsmanship Dal Rossi applies across their premium range.

Key features

  • Deep dark brown crocodile-engraved PU leather exterior with a rich, textured finish
  • Walnut and rosewood inlaid playing surface with cream and dark points
  • Diamond inlay motif at the centre of the board for added visual detail
  • Two crocodile-embossed brown leather dice cups matching the exterior aesthetic
  • Cream and brown checkers, dice, and a doubling cube included
  • Dal Rossi branded black velvet pouch included for accessory storage
  • Recessed dark carry handle throughout
  • 45cm case — a generous playing size for comfortable backgammon play

Dark tan versus light tan — choosing between the two crocodile sets

The Dark Tan and Light Tan sets share the same construction, inlaid playing surface, component complement, and crocodile-embossed dice cups. The difference is entirely in exterior tone.

The Light Tan has a warm terracotta and black exterior with a lighter, more open character. The Dark Tan is deeper and richer — a near-chocolate brown with a denser crocodile pattern that gives the closed case a more subdued, considered presence. Buyers who prefer a darker, more understated aesthetic will find the Dark Tan the natural choice. Those who want more warmth and contrast will prefer the Light Tan.

An exterior with depth and character

The deep dark brown crocodile-engraved PU leather covers the full exterior surface — lid, sides, and spine — with a fine, consistent pattern that varies naturally in scale across the engraved texture. The recessed dark carry handle sits cleanly on the front face, and the silver hinge hardware provides a clean contrast against the dark exterior tone.

Closed, the Dark Tan set has a quiet, considered presence — a set that does not demand attention but rewards it when examined closely.

Inlaid playing surface and matched dice cups

The walnut and rosewood inlaid playing surface is the interior highlight — two characterful timbers arranged across the full 45cm playing area with cream highlights and a diamond inlay motif at the centre. The warm mid-brown walnut base and richer rosewood points give the playing surface a natural, layered quality that fabric or printed alternatives cannot replicate.

The two crocodile-embossed brown leather dice cups echo the exterior finish throughout, and the cream and brown checkers sit naturally against the warm timber tones of the playing surface. The doubling cube is included for players who want to play proper competitive backgammon, and the Dal Rossi branded velvet pouch keeps accessories organised between sessions.

Our expert take

The Dal Rossi Crocodile Engraved Dark Tan Backgammon Set is the more understated of the two crocodile sets in our range at Sterling Chess. The deep dark brown exterior has a richness and depth that the Light Tan version does not quite match, and the inlaid walnut and rosewood playing surface is as considered and premium inside as the exterior suggests. For players and collectors who want a luxury backgammon set with a quieter, richer character, this is a strong choice.
