It looks like a Karnhem Hillman Buckingham model. Nice table but not that valuable.

From Hubble&Freeman's website they do not do this six-legged table anymore, so it may be old-ish.
Valuable - ?

Yeah I did have a quick look on there website and I couldn't see it either, so that's what made me think they could be right and it was valuable......

It may have a hubble and freeman makers plate on the table , but sorry to have to be the informant here , that table was made by Karnhem and Hillman . leg design is called the Buckingham model with scrolls .
it is the same old story of rebranding another makers table , was there another plate on the other cushion , if not they have been naughty and removed the plate to rebrand it , if not then they are informing they are the supplier but the manufacturer is K&Hillman .

Value wise this table looks like a 8ft table and therfore on the secondhand market worth more then a full size , a full sized version of this table sold last week on ebay for £350 .
the legs are identical buttons on cushions to hide bolt holes , but i think this one did not have the scrollson they could be ordered in differant guises , tulip buckingham leg , turned plain leg , and square leg , all with or without scrolls .

8ft worth around £1250 to £1500



the 9ft could be worth around £1500 to £2500 on the secondhand market . becaue they are rare to find . 10fts even rarer .

Hi,

Cheers

Thanks for the info Geoff.

I don't know if the table had anymore name plates on it, but then again I wasn't looking so it have have been on the other side but that's interesting I never knew that kind of thing went on!!

I pretty sure it was a 8ft table..... So it wasn't worth as much as they were telling me then!!

No the table new would be around £1750 from k&hillman .

thats in 8ft form and made around late 1980s early 1990s

They may have paid top dollar for it though if bought from a top end seller such as Hamiltons or Sir william Bentley billiards , but the majority of table sellers would value it as I have done , based on tables that have sold in the past 10 years , and if we had one of these in stocl £1750 would be the tops we could achieve for it fully installed and delivered .

Ive come across tables that customers have paid upwrds of £4000 for a 9ft , and the table was shocking at that price worth no more than £1500 workmanship was also poor no better thana DIY job , you realy have to be carefull when buying tables and get as many photo.s and prices then look at what you are actualy getting for youre money , spmetimes a fancy selling name is just a tool for asking top dollar , one firm I have come across and it is very obvious who it is use's a name that is shall we say misleading as to it's right to use it , and I would gladly put my own workmanship up against its fiiters for comparison and have no worries as to the outcome.
but what realy shocks me is the prices they charge , the customer not knowing what they are buying are too excited at the table with it.s freshly fitted cloth looking good to the eye , it,s only when they see its faults some weeks later that they know they have been tucked up , we have a job on at the moment to put one of these tables in a saleable condition and then resupply a better product to them , but having paid £4000 for the table they will only get at the most £1500 for it as a private sale , and the table we have quoted to renew it with is just £1750 , we are not interested in the other table though so no part exchange .

I can say though from experience that K&hillman tables are made to a good standard , only faults are legs splitting , and 8fts are rare to find . But it is not worth no more than the price I have quoted . I suppose for insurance valuation £2500 to replace it taking into account vat and fitting delivery etc .
