Correct dimensions are: Height 33 x width 58 x length 105 inches. The table has been disassembled for moving and may require professional re-assembly. The felt is not original; it probably needs professional replacement. The bolts and their decorative caps have been removed from the sides of the table but are present. Includes a set of 16 balls and 7 cues. The marquetry case is attractive, with scattered faint scuffs and marks but no significant damage or losses. It is well-conserved.Condition reports are available upon request. All lots are sold “as is,” in the condition they are in at the time of the auction.
