LUXURY HOMES
SIR WILLIAM BENTLEY BILLIARDS
Whether it’s a full-size Snooker table, Pool table or dual-purpose
dining or conference table, a billiards table is a great addition to any
contemporary or classic home, hotel, restaurant or bar. As well as
being a focal point for social entertainment, a well-designed, handcrafted
and truly bespoke piece of furniture is a statement of beauty.
The craftsmen at Sir William Bentley Billiards’ workshop, in Marten,
England, have designed and made some of the world’s most
beautiful bespoke billiard tables; working with private clients,
Interior Designers, Hoteliers & Property Developers to create unique
items that are designed specifically for the space they are made for.
Using the finest wood, metal, slate and cloth, their focus is on
producing work of the highest quality, and further enhancing a
reputation for attention to detail, earned through more than forty
years of Antique billiards restoration, renovation, reproduction and
bespoke table-making.
As a result of their craftsmanship and design, this reputation has
grown to make them the choice of designers worldwide. Their
tables are as likely to be found in a Luxury hotel in the far East, or
a boutique Bar in Dubai, as they are in a private Alpine Chalet or a
Mayfair basement.
Games rooms, or multi-function social spaces are increasingly
popular in contemporary domestic design, and Snooker & Pool
tables have long been a staple piece within many hospitality venues.
In recent years, the company has increasingly been asked to provide
their Antique and bespoke tables on a rental, lease, or sale or return
basis. For a Property development, this might mean furnishing a
luxury property with a statement Pool table, without the capital
outlay of an outright purchase; Hoteliers looking to make the best
use of their space can transform a conference or function room
into to a luxury games room or billiard-room with a dual-purpose
dining table, paying for its rental and maintenance as an operational
expense.
To complement their beautiful tables, Sir William Bentley Billiards
also offer a wide-range of matching accessories, including cue-racks,
scoreboards and ball-boxes as well as other bespoke items such
as table-football tables, dart-board cabinets, table-tennis tops,
panelling and storage units.
The family run business is based in the beautiful countryside of
the Wiltshire, Berkshire borders in the tiny village of Marten, and
welcomes visitors to its showrooms and workshops 7 days a week,
by appointment. There one can see the craftsmen at work on their
latest creations as well as the wide range of Antique, Vintage and
contemporary tables. Lights and accessories on display.
