An antique 6ft snooker dining table by E.J Riley of Accrington, made in the 1930s from solid English oak. It has a solid brass rise and fall mechanism to take the table from dining height to playing height. The first photograph is of the actual table.
The table is awaiting full refurbishment in our Accrington workshop. Rest assured it will be finished to a very high standard; the other photographs on this page show examples of our work. Once refurbished it will look fantastic and play as new.
The refurbishment
All the outward-facing woodwork will be stripped and sanded, any imperfections repaired and the table finished as an E.J Riley factory finish. The table came to us without its original top, so a new three-piece oak veneered table top will be made for it.
