A BURROUGHES & WATTS LTD SNOOKER TABLE, with Arrowflite cushions, labelled with address of 431/2 Mary Street, Dublin which is likely the address of the retailer. This fine table is raised on turned and carved legs, a perfect piece to bring a games room to life. Along with the table this lot comes with 5 cues and 2 extensions & a box of snooker balls as photographed. The saying goes that snooker was born on a Burroughes & Watts table in the ‘Ooty’ gentleman’s club in Northern India where Lieutenant Colonel Neville Chamberlin invented the game. Tables made by this company have been witness to many legendary players in the world of snooker form John Roberts Jnr, to Joe Davis, Arthur Peall and Joe Brady to name a few. The first ever professional match that lasted a full week was staged by Burroughes & Watts Soho Square in 1922. Proceeds from the sale of this lot along with lot 51 will go towards the Allin Institute in Bandon fundraising initiative.
