A classic billiards table is as much a
piece of fine furniture as it is a game
table. The most beautiful examples
combine workmanship, design and
playability. The tables crafted by
Brunswick have been in the estates
of the Rockefellers and Vanderbilts
as well as the White House. Its limited
edition and numbered replica table
from the 1878 Exposition, with its
elaborate inlays and elegantly carved
legs, is a stunning example of 19th
century design. Only 25 were built.
