Stock 1008 10ft Fagervik oak c1750 reproduction Billiard Table
Stock 1008 Fagervik
This is a reproduction of an antique billiard table c1750 which is sited in a museum in Fagervik, Finland. We were requested by our client who lives near the museum to construct a replica of the table from solid oak to install in his home and so we actually produced two such tables, this being the second. The production of these was a great challenge using very old machinery & specialist techniques to machine the legs on a lathe but using a spiral cutting tailstock to achieve the desired shape & finish. The original table from which we took our patterns was fitted with a wooden playing surface but we have slightly changed the proportions of the leg to achieve a sturdier framework to properly support a heavy slate bed & to achieve optimum playing performance from the 'full size' cushions and pockets. The table is made of solid oak throughout & has been stained & sealed to a medium colour and fitted with a brand new Italian slate bed. We would recommend simple 'bag' nets as being the most appropriate for a table of this style & historical importance, but will leave the final finishing of nets & cloth colour to customers choice. A wonderfully individual & stylish piece of furniture of which we are justly proud, unlike anything else
