An antique 5ft snooker dining table by E.J Riley of Accrington, made in the 1930s from solid African mahogany. It stands on round and fluted legs and has a solid brass rise and fall mechanism to take the table from dining height to playing height. A four-piece mahogany table top converts it for dining. This is a beautiful antique snooker table.
The photograph shows a 6ft version of the same model that we refurbished a year or so ago.
