This piece is ideal for a collector, designer, private club, lodge, or statement estate setting. The table was purchased from a private California estate; the previous owner resided in the same neighborhood as Robin Williams. The slate was professionally crated and shipped to Georgia, where it remains carefully stored and ready for shipment.

Constructed using traditional Brunswick methods, this table features a hardwood frame with fine walnut veneer, rosewood cap rails and solid rosewood corners, decorative white and black holly inlays, and inlaid circular sight markers typical of premium Brunswick tables of this era. Woven leather ball pockets with fringe detailing. Measures 5’ x 10’ - this is a true billiards table (not a standard pool table).

The table has remained disassembled since transport, with the original three-piece slate (1 1/2" special order) professionally crated. Overall condition is very good for its age, showing only minor signs of wear and consistent with a well-preserved antique. See less
