For sale is an antique miniature snooker/billiards table.
Is was made by Slazenger in the late 19th - early 20th century.
It has a bone Slazenger & Sons badge at one end.
The table is made from a reddish wood, possibly mahogany. It seems to have been recently recovered with baize and has new, red-twine pockets. The brass pocket holders look to be original. The cushions are soft and springy; they feel like rubber.
It sits on four, turned wooden legs.
The playing bed is slate.
One or two of the wooden mushroom-head screw covers along the sides have little chips where they have been removed and replaced at some time.
It comes with a set of miniature balls which measure 25mm across. They are not original to the table.
It measures 82 x 43 x 12cm.
Please feel free to ask any questions.
I acquired the table as part of a joblot, so know little of its history. It seems to have been recovered by someone skilled.
There is a little age-related wear and tear - please see photos.
