Exceptional Vintage Metamorphic Dining & Snooker Table – Slate Bed on Carved Claw & Ball Feet

Exceptional Vintage Metamorphic Dining & Snooker Table – Slate Bed on Carved Claw & Ball Feet

A rare and distinguished piece, this remarkable metamorphic dining/snooker table combines elegance, craftsmanship, and versatility in equal measure.

Beneath the polished three-part dining surface lies a professional slate-bed snooker table, complete with pockets, cue, cue rest, and a full set of balls. The transformation is seamless, allowing this table to serve both as a grand dining centrepiece and as a refined games table for after-dinner entertainment.

Craftsmanship: Raised on substantial carved claw-and-ball feet, the table demonstrates both strength and artistry, typical of the finest cabinetmaking traditions.

Versatility: Comfortably accommodates ten diners, yet swiftly adapts to reveal its dual purpose.

Condition: In well-preserved vintage condition, with surface and leg marks commensurate with age and use. These do not detract from the table’s commanding presence or playability, but rather attest to its history and authenticity.

Practical Considerations:

This is an extremely heavy piece, constructed on a slate bed, and will require a team of four to manoeuvre. The snooker table section separates from the base, and the dining top comes apart in three pieces for transport. Delivery will be entrusted to a specialist courier, though it is essential that access is entirely level and unobstructed.

An exceptional acquisition for the collector, connoisseur, or discerning host, this table represents the very best of form and function — equally at home in a grand dining hall, gentleman’s games room, or refined country house interior.

Dimensions:

279.5cm long (9.2ft)
