Description

A superb antique Edwardian metamorphic  snooker billiards table /dining table by E.J.Riley Circa 1900 in date restored by the renowned billiards table makers Hamilton & Tucker.
 

This table will stand out in your living room, can comfortably seat eight, and will definitely become a talking point.  This impressive table is exemplary of the late Edwardian era, and is made from superb quality flame mahogany.

This amazing dining table has a rise and fall mechanism snooker / billiards table and is raised on decorative turned legs. It features a precision ground Italian slate bed to guarantee a flat playing surface and is fitted with a dual-height rise and fall mechanism and levelling system to raise and lower the table easily between playing snooker and dining height.

The dining table has five mahogany leaves that can easily be removed to reveal the snooker table. Genuine English moulded leather covers the pocket plates and the cotton bag net pockets can be hidden away when in the dining position.

 

It comes complete with the original scoreboard, four cues, balls, two triangles, a wall mounting cue rack, a brush and a rest.

 

This antique table is in superb condition and has been well cared for, each leg has a brass leveller which can be adjusted to ensure that the table is level for playing snooker.
 

The snooker table baize, cushions, and pockets have been completely refurbished and are in excellent condition, please see the photographs to confirm condition.

E. J. Riley Ltd.An authoritative history of the E. J. Riley Ltd. business was written by the grandson of one of the founders of the business, which was published in the book - Billiards & Snooker a Trade History complied by Mr. J. R. Mitchell (the retired Managing Director of Thurston) and published by the British Sports & Allied Industries Federation (now called the Federation of Sports and Play Association, who kindly gave their permission to use the article.).

The article was written by the then Chairman of E.J. Riley Mr C. G. Kenyon, and so for the early history it is that article that has been used, which charted the early days up to the early 1980's. Photographs of tables and catalogues have been added which have been taken from the Norman Clare Heritage Collection. Sadly as the later history of the business relates the optimism shown at the end of Mr. Kenyon's article was not to be and the actual business finally collapse in late 2002, although the name lives on within other businesses that acquired use of the name.

Seller Reviews

Cancellations and Returns

Our Terms of sale were designed to treat both Customers and Vendors (including Professional Vendors and Non-Professional Vendors (as defined in the Site Terms)) fairly, in order to make the shopping/selling experience with Vinterior just as exceptional as the items.

We've extended our usual return period for the holidays. Any purchases made in December 2023 on gifting items can be returned up until 31 January 2024.

To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.

If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item’s Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.

Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.

Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.

Can I cancel an order?

If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason that they do not want to purchase the Goods before the Goods have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.

The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the customer’s specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.

If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the costs of delivery are non-refundable.

To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.

Can I return an item?

Consumers based in the UK and European Union can request to return the Goods on Vinterior up to 14 days after the Goods have been received. Once accepted, the buyer is in charge of the shipment and should organise it as soon as possible (except in the case of a return of faulty Goods).

To initiate a return, the Customer must click on Create a return on the order page on the Site. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.

As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer’s specific requirements.

Additionally, the Customer may not return an item for "inaccurate listing” reason when its dimensions or other characteristics do not fit its requirements. We strongly recommend that buyer measures all access areas prior to making a purchase.

If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.

In case of a return, the costs of delivery (i.e., outbound delivery costs when Goods are sent from the Vendor to a Customer) are non-refundable.

The Customer is responsible for organising the return of Goods and for paying delivery costs. Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt and refund the Customer. If an item is returned to the seller damaged, or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund and the seller may have to send it back to you (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.

Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged in transportation or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.

In case of damage in transit for all items, Vinterior must be informed. Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf the Vendor with delivery company Proovia. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.

Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.

Vendors may refuse a return of an item if it has been altered by the Customer in any way.

Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.

Price match guarantee

If you find the same item listed at a lower price (including delivery) elsewhere, we'll match it for you.
