Description

Dal Rossi Obsidian Black 45cm Backgammon Set

The Dal Rossi Obsidian Black 45cm Backgammon Set is a premium backgammon set for players and collectors who want a bold, dramatic aesthetic without compromising on quality or completeness. The black PU leather exterior is finished with embossed detailing, polished gold hardware clasps and corner protectors, and a carry handle — a striking combination that gives the set a confident, modern character.

Open the case and the all-black interior continues that aesthetic. The tonal black playing surface carries the full backgammon layout in an understated design, with red and natural tan checkers providing sharp, vivid contrast against the dark background. Two matching black dice cups, standard dice, and a doubling cube complete the set. Everything needed to play is inside, presented with the care and consistency Dal Rossi applies across their premium range.

How the Obsidian Black set compares to the Dal Rossi Sandstone set

The Dal Rossi Sandstone and Obsidian Black backgammon sets share the same 45cm case format, gold hardware, embossed PU leather exterior, and component complement. The difference is entirely aesthetic — and it is a significant one.

Where the Dal Rossi Sandstone 45cm Backgammon Set is warm and refined, the Obsidian Black is bold and dramatic. The all-black interior with red and natural checkers creates a sharper, more contemporary playing surface, and the black exterior with gold hardware gives the case a strong visual presence that suits modern interiors and buyers who prefer a darker aesthetic.

Both sets are equally suited to serious players and collectors — the choice comes down entirely to which colourway suits your space and personal taste. Browse the full backgammon collection at Sterling Chess to compare across the range.

A case designed for display and play

The black PU leather exterior with embossed pattern detailing gives the Obsidian Black set a character that is immediately distinctive on a game table or shelf. The polished gold corner protectors and structured carry handle add considered detail to the exterior without competing with the dominant black finish.

The gold hardware clasps close securely, protecting the interior components during storage and transport. At 45cm, the case has enough presence to hold its own as a display piece between sessions, while remaining practical for regular play and travel.

Interior built for serious play

The all-black tonal interior provides a smooth, comfortable playing surface for the full backgammon layout. The red and natural tan checkers create vivid, clear contrast against the dark background — immediately distinguishable across the board throughout play.

The two matching black dice cups provide a satisfying roll for both players, and the doubling cube is included as standard for players who want to play proper competitive backgammon. All components are housed in dedicated compartments in the lower half of the case, keeping everything organised and protected between sessions.

Our expert take

The Dal Rossi Obsidian Black Backgammon Set is the bolder of the two PU leather sets in our backgammon range at Sterling Chess. The all-black interior with red and natural checkers is striking, the gold hardware against the black exterior is a strong combination, and the overall quality matches what we would expect from Dal Rossi at this level. If you want a luxury backgammon set that makes a statement through a dark, contemporary aesthetic, this is the one.
