If you fancy card games but want to ensure memorable moments with each deal look no further than the Alexandra Llewellyn Geometrix Poker Set.

The Alexandra Llewellyn Geometrix Poker Set is a reflection on the nature of geometry itself. Featuring tessellating abstract shapes – one of the seven key elements of art – inlaid by hand into the wood marquetry box, this playful and original work of art was inspired by the iconic Majolica tiles designed by the acclaimed Italian architect Gio Ponti.

Four different sustainable woods have been inlaid within the design, hand-picked by Alexandra for their uniformity of colour and the quality of their graining, with the swirling patterns that swim within burled walnut, the elegant stripes of American black walnut, the tiny knots of bird’s eye maple and the strong grain and beautiful luster of sycamore combining to create a wonderful contrast of textures.

The incredible attention to detail continues within the box, with squares of satin walnut inlaid on the inside lid to create a distinctive basket weave effect and the classic suits in a pack of cards arranged in the center. Behind each of the four suits, the marquetry artist has created a trompe l’oeil effect using a piece of wood selected for its darker tone, introducing a beautiful sense of three-dimensionality.

Housing 305 traditional clay poker chips, custom made by the oldest poker chip makers in the US, and two packs of Alexandra’s Signature geometric playing cards, the dealer button is carved from semi-precious turquoise, laser engraved with the letter D, and the blind buttons cut from iridescent mother of pearl.
