We
have several beautiful and collectable backgammon
and chess sets from the late 1800's
Some information below, although it is not possible to fully appreciate their aesthetic value unless seated in one of our leather chairs, surrounded by books, with a glass of whisky or wine in hand. In this regard we are technologically restrained by the internet and so prefer your physical presence.
Regretfully no cigars. Nothing to do with any draconian no-smoking zone, but the books like to smoke them as well, and are unable to brush their teeth the following morning with the obvious result.
