The art of gentlemanly sportsmanship comes alive in this magnificent billiard table. Skillfully crafted of mahogany and walnut by J. Ashcroft and Sons of Liverpool, the table features an ornate frame supported by eight turned and hand-carved legs. Brass-ringed woven pockets line the regulation playing surface, and can be fitted with hand-tooled leather aprons. A full suite of traditional accessories, including snooker balls, ball rack, and eight snooker cues, are stored in a perfectly matched, custom-made scoring cabinet. This cabinet not only complements this wonderful table, but also provides a tastefully appointed scoring center, complete with brass sliders and slate boards for manual scoring. It also acts as the perfect entertainment center, as the top drawer opens to reveal an exquisite wet bar, featuring crystal glassware and decanters. The table also comes with a new "show cloth" and another new cloth for final installation.
