NOW SOLD to a client buyer in Leicester

PRIVATE SALE DIRECT FROM SELLER

Here we have a reproduction of a vintage design of flip over dining table
by sir William Bentley billiards and it has a blue cloth .
in very good condition by the look of the photo’s my client has sent me .

as you can see a simple one person job of flipping over the table top to dine off
this leaves the snooker / billiard table suspended underneath the table and no 4 or 5 sectional dining top leaf’s to take on or off unlike the riley dining tables .
and where do you store them , this solves the problem a simple flip over design .

Lovely polished Mahogany finish
the actual dining table top  will be a little larger than the 7x3ft 6 inch playing surface of the billiard table .
closer to 8ft by 4ft I should think .
plenty for 8 to 10 places depending on chair size . you may even get 12 placings  if you are lucky and get two people at each end .

the legs are a nice turned design , on this reproduction replicating the George Edwards or George Wright flip over diners of original design  of the late 1890’s
I do not think this table will be up for sale long ,
Christmas is coming , what better way of entertaining the family after the Xmas Lunch than to clear the table , flip it over for a few frames of snooker or pool .

NOW SOLD TO A BUYER IN FRANCE .  another sold table
what sold this table was the condition and how much the owner had spent on it recently , and the fact BCE tables are a bit more sought after .
being fitted by a good fitting mate of mine in Bournmouth  .

We have a client who wishes to sell his BCE WESTBURY 12ft snooker table
the table was recently  set up re-clothed in Strachan 6811 tournament cloth around 18 month to 2 years ago and only had Home use .
And also had new Northern professional rubber fitted and pockets openings re-cut .
and new nets and leathers
At this price with the recent work it is a Bargain .

My client is moving house down sizing and cannot take his table with him .
so it is priced to sell at just £750 .

the table has the modern adjustable centre slate adjusters fitted , BCE Westbury where one of the first to use these .
stops centre slate sagging and if it does happen then adjustable to get it out .

Just to prove it had the rubbers replaced here is a photo of me doing it .

A very nice table for little money , why buy a table you would have to spend around £1100 on to replace all the cloth /rubber and nets and leathers
BCE tables where used as world tournament tables from 1982 to 1992 .
and some professionals still swear by them today as one of the best tables around to play on .
so much that John Higgins recently let go of his Star table and bought a S/Hand BCE Westbury , sourced by GCL billiards for him .
save a few thousand from new , on this Westbury table for sale near Nottingham .

£750 is for table as it is , buyer arranges the move

Well only on for less than 24 hours and already sold to a client I knew who was after something a  bit special at a good price .
the table is stopping in Leicestershire too , so not far for the buyer and seller to arrange delivery .

We have a deep arched framed oak Orme and sons , what we would describe as an Arts and Crafts design dating from around 1920s to 1930s years .
The table is in oak and made by the famous Manchester firm of Orme & sons .

As you can see this leg design is unique to orme & sons and reminds me of a table I once worked on in the late Maurice gibbs Home near Esher London .
deep frame work and arch embellishments all in solid oak , the polish is in very good condition .
The cloth is not it is badly faded due to sunlight .

this table is very imposing design of the arts and crafts era .

End view of table .

Welsh slates are original to the table .

Slate thickness bang on 2 inch , very heavy slates to handle .

Score board that is with the table .
there are some x rests but no long tackle rests
a scoreboard and brush .
a set of balls
triangle
and a couple of cues and cue rack
there may be some rest extenders and cue extender with the table , I think this is why no long tackle .

my client is asking for £1000 for the table as it is and described .

NOW GONE

ALL SOLD SOLD SOLD !!!

Under instruction to clear a room formerly a pool snooker club of all tables and advertise all tables for sale .

ALL TABLES ARE PRIVATE SALES .
Please make sure when you phone up after I give you contact details what table you are buying with the sellers agent IAN , and are available and not sold , if you buy a oak one you want the oak one when you turn up , and not be offered a black ash , any discrepancies are not the responsibility of GCL billiards for any mishaps or arranging to buy , you are buying direct from the seller not GCL billiards , and your buying contract is with the seller not us .
We are only advertising the tables for sale for the buyer and are not responsible for any discrepancies in the sale .

Here we have a selection of second hand pool table priced to sell …. PLEASE NOTE buyer collects from upstairs room ( 1st Floor )
you will need two very strong guys or 4 people to help get these downstairs so we have priced them to sell at  a lower price because of that .
and a van or vehicle large enough to take the quantity you require .
a medium wheel base medium high roof Vauxhall Movano will take three of these tables easy as an example .
but would be a push to try and get 4 in .

As an Example of how to load

PLEASE NO OFFERS … you may know there is a shortage of these second hand tables around to buy at the moment due to covid so they are  priced to sell quickly first come first served .
every one is buying them up to stay at home to play .
I have no doubt that these tables will be snapped up as soon as they are seen for sale at these very reasonable prices .
If you are prepared to travel hire van and take a team with you of 2 to 4 men , you will grab bargain .

Black ash Supreme winner pool table coin op type £400 as seen in photo above of actual table .
not sure on corner plate type plastic or metal chrome but being black ash I would say chrome plastic , but has preferred alloy cushion trim .
Buyer removes and collects themselves .

black ash Supreme pool table all black ash tables are coin op
older type table with chrome plastic corners but has the preferred alloy cushion trim not the cheap black plastic . £400 as seen in photo .
buyer removes and collects themselves .

another black ash coin op table with alloy cushion trims £400 as seen in photo buyer collects and removes themselves .

Supreme winner in Walnut finish , has the modern metal chrome corners and cushion alloy trim and is the red and cream badged model
not not a very old one £450 as seen in photo buyer collects and removes themselves .

another walnut model , again modern metal chrome corners and alloy cushion trim so around same age as the red badged model .
£450 as seen in photo buyer collects and removes themselves .

The best table is last , Oak supreme Green badged so not very old at all .
£525 sold as seen in the photo , buyer collects themselves .
Please note it is the buyers responsibility to remove the tables , there will be no labour available from the sellers on the day you arrange to pick one or more up .

The tables are based in Folkstone in Kent , my client is based abroad in Hong Kong at the moment ,  but he has a UK agent for entry into the club .
it would be ideal to sell as a job lot and for this the prices of each table could be reduced by £20 per table as a job lot collection in one go .
a saving of £120 over the Six tables .
£20 per table discount kicks in at 4 tables or more
I can offer £15 discount per table for up to 3 tables , if two tables then £10 discount per table .
I am trying to get a UK phone number for my clients agent for direct UK contact , cash on collection would be the preferred method  of payment .
just to make you feel easy about the tables as my client is based abroad .
My client owns the property that needs to be cleared of these tables and needs them of the building so he can  rent out the building or sell or put to other use again .

One of the best hand built  in the UK snooker tables I have seen
cost new £5000 from Cheshire billiards .
This table is now for sale at half that price delivered and install to Ground floor within a 100 mile radius ,  and it is still as new .
built in American Oak , no expense spared , Large turned fluted legs , with 12 ornate hand carved scrolls .
5 Diamond honed Italian slates .
Wood is unmarked and as new .
Complete with , set of Balls , 4 Cues , 1 cross rest , 1 spider , one set of long cue and rest , hooks for rests , triangle , Peradon fitted dust cover , Large Ornate Oak matching scoreboard is also included  .

Truly a master built table built by Craftsmen , not your usual mass produced Chinese table .
Cheshire billiards is one of those firms that produce high quality workmanship , The late Brian Slowen and his son Peter , I had the pleasure to meet on many occasion and talk to them at their workshop premises  , you only have to visit their web site to see they made bespoke billiard tables to order in specially kiln dried hard woods of African Mahogany / American Oak / and American Black Walnut .
This Oak table has come into GCL Billiards and is now for resale at £2500 delivered and fully fitted within a radius of 100 mile on Ground floor , if stairs are involved there may be an extra costing to install .

Carved oak scroll work each side of each leg

close up of carved scroll for detail .

Large Turned and fluted legs , this table has 6 legs .

Sturdy thick frame and slate support bearers to support 5 section thick slates
I will be making the slate bearers adjustable on set up and fixing adjusters at each end to stop any sagging of slate .
This is a belt and braces addition to the table and makes adjustment of any slate sagging easy to do .

by adjustable I mean these brackets at each end of the slate bearers , or Muntins as we in the trade call them .

Bed cloth is in A1 condition , hardly had a ball roll on it .
no ball track wear in pockets at all which is very rare to find , this table has had very little use .
more of a room filler than a played table .
but you have the option of paying extra for a brand new bed cloth if you wish .
we will acetone the old D and baulk marking out prior to re-marking out on the original cloth .
