Antique Billiard Tables

Antique Billiard Tables are not just fun tables to play on, some of them are truly works of art from long, long ago. The first documented antique pool table dates back to 1470, it was owned by King Louis XI of France. Of course it didn’t look exactly like today’s version of billiard tables.

Now having an Antique Pool Table in your home would serve more than one purpose. It’s a conversation piece. It’s a nice piece of furniture; some say even a piece of art. And it’s a nice table to play on if refinished nicely. So where in the world do you find one of these and how much do they cost?





Well when it comes to cost, a replica table that’s similar to an antique billiard table can run in the low thousands of dollars. But there are also “real” antique pool tables that run around the same price. But for a better quality vintage billiard table, in most cases will be over $10,000 dollars and Brunswick Antique Pool Tables are really popular from the late 1800s, and early 1900s and fall in both price ranges.

And when it comes to the early antique pool table designs you have more than a few to choose from in different sizes. For example there are snooker tables, pocket billiard tables, carom billiard tables and even billiard tables that don’t have pockets.

Now add in the various types of woods used and various pocket styles like the French Style Pockets with various tassel designs and you have one great looking antique table. Not to mention the intricate detailed legs on some of the more expensive ones.

Finding Your Antique Pool Table

Of course one of the best places to look is on Ebay as you never know what you’ll find there. Beyond that if you do a simple search on Google you’ll find that there are many people who refinish these tables professionally and then sell them. Two sites you may want to start your search at are www.antique-pool-table.com/index.htm and http://www.oldpooltables.com/default.asp , they both have some nice tables. Just make sure to always research the table you’re thinking of buying in detail.
