We have a client who wishes to sell their very ornate snooker table .
the table is based in Dorset. on a Ground floor location .
My client says it is a Cribbs make ? this may be a supplier based sports shop based in Bristol . these sports shops often sell as retail outlets for other firms large snooker tables , and I think they where representing Smith and Nelson on this occasion .
now I have never heard of this Cribbs make but from the photo’s and the knee panel design of the table it is more likely to be a Burroughs and watts table
I will know more when I see some more close up photo’s.

As can be seen this table is very ornate , I am in the process of asking for more photo’s but the ones sent are too large to download
I will be away in Portugal for the next 4 days so any inquiries about this table will have to wait for a response on my re-turn which will be Wednesday the 10th of June

All inquiries to price and cost of removal and set up is to Geoff at GCL billiards

c.large@btinternet.com  this is the email to inquire.

I have managed to download a few more photo’s
dorset ornate oak with smith and nelson plate
A more modern identity plate but not the original manufacturer , I do not think this table has steel cushions on it
the table is Dark / Medium Oak . Smith & Nelson where the people who renovated the table , I do not know if they still exist or still trading as I have goole searched for them and nothing only old cue’s , but have read they where still trading in 1989 in Leeds.
The table could possibly be a Smith and Nelson table , but I somehow have a feeling that the table is more Burroughs and watts designed and type . although I have not ruled out Orme and Sons who made some very nice Oak tables too.
dorset ornate close up
A more close up photo of the table in full , the cloth is more than half decent and can be refitted after transporting .
dorset ornate balls iron cues brush and rack
the table comes with a full range of accessories including an Iron , the long tackle and x rests are stored on hooks on the table .
dorset ornate close up of corner leg
Having studied the corner pockets as they enter the end of the cushion by the cloth showing this table has standard wood cushions and not steel Block cushions
I am of the opinion that this table was Manufactured by Burroughs and watts around 1920 to 1950s  Circa .
there are beveled slide in cushion bolt panels , the knee panels which hide the leg bolts appear to be the concealed type used by Burroughs and watts ,
if the corner pockets have bolts under neath to secure them to the cushions then I am 100% it is a Burroughs and watts .

This table would fetch at least £3000 form a dealer as it is , my client is wishing to move this table on very quick so is open to offers,  now reduced to just £1750 plus collection and fitting

As you can see many people use GCL billiards to move their table on , from basic club tables to more ornate tables like this , if my client had more time I think this table would reach around the £3000 figure
it is not every day that these tables come up for sale although the market is flooded with full size tables going at very low prices , an ornate one like this is always going to have few more people interested when viewing against a plain table.
as you can see from the photo’s this table was recently renovated and is still in that nice renovated condition .

if you require a quote to move this table please forward your email address with post code and if the table is to be located at set up  on a ground or upper or lower floors like a basement and if any soft or gravel like ground is present .
