****SOLD within Five days of advertising .. 2 where after it ,,, sold to first one to complete purchase , Selling client delighted .
and so is the Buyer . Qulaity table , that if made to day would be very expensive to produce in Oak and steel cushions .
A very nice Oak Burroughs and watts billiards table circa around 1920/30s
Oak has a nice 1/4 sawn pattern . which means it was constructed from selected oak plank pieces in the factory and not just any low grain offcutts .
My client is very realistic in his pricing of the table which is located near to Stroud in the west of England .
The table is on the Ground floor , it will in my opinion require a full renovation of the playing surface , cloth and rubber , maybe upgrade the nets and leathers but I think it may lose it’s old ORIGINAL charm to replace billiard bag nets with ball rail nets and rails .
any one interested in this full size Billiard /Snooker table contact Geoff Large at GCL billiards for further information , and I will pass on your details to the selling client , who will then give me permission to let you have his contact details .
Burroughs and watts are regarded as one of the best billiard table manufacturers some say the rolls royce of billiard firms , but I think George Wright and Orme & sons are also on a level of B&Watts , Burroughs & Watts where credited with the first use of Steel braced cushions known as steel vaccum or Steel block cushions , which is still used to the same design on modern match play tables of today on TV .
Steel cushions give you a better ball responce in rebound and speed off the cushions , plus lower noise when the ball hits the cushion , not so much of a thud sound which a normal full wood cushion often sounds like .
There are a few mahogany B&WEatts tables for sale but Oak ones only come up now and again , not saying it is rare to find but not as many as mahogany for sale .
which is a good point for our selling client , as I do not think the table will be up for sale long at this price .
