We’re happy to source your ideal antique snooker table. There is no charge for this service. Let us know the size and style of table that you require, and we will do all we can to find it! This is an important purchase, let’s make sure we get it right.
All tables are traditionally restored, French polished by hand, and finished to the customer’s requirements. We offer a choice of cloth colour, and wood colour/ finish. We provide a truly bespoke service. Our attention to detail is second to none. Not all restoration is equal!

Traditional Restoration
We generally restore our antique snooker tables to order, taking the customer’s preferences into account. Once you’ve reserved your table, we will consult with you during the restoration stage, and keep you informed of progress.
All of our antique snooker, pool and billiards tables are sympathetically restored by hand, using traditional techniques, retaining the character of each table.
We do not spray finish our tables, but carefully French polish by hand, using high quality products.
This is a time consuming process, but the superior results speak for themselves.
Any replacement parts are sourced locally, we do not use cheap, imported products. We replace the snooker table’s bed cloth, re-rubber and re-cover the cushions, and replace pockets where necessary.
We can cover your antique table in any colour baize, it doesn’t have to be green!
Please ask for details.
Choosing Your Bespoke Finish
Our wood colour samples show the various tones of colour and degree of sheen that can be achieved during French polishing.
We will prepare and send these samples to you, so that you can select the finish that you prefer.
We will then restore your table to your chosen finish, emailing photos to you as the restoration takes place.
Watch Mark in action! French polishing colour samples video.
We can even colour-match the woodwork, if you have a piece of furniture that you would like the snooker table to match.
If you would like to discuss our restoration techniques, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We’d love to tell you more!
Pocket Nets and Leathers
Snooker table pocket nets and leathers: We will replace worn nets and leathers.
We like to make these look fantastic too!
Most customers opt for the ‘antiqued’ look. We polish the leathers to look more antique, and tint the nets so that they give a softer look.
Of course, if you prefer these to be left natural, that’s fine too.
We have ‘antiqued’ the nets and leathers pictured.
