Riley full size circa 1913 in BARN

[Geoff Large]

This Riley full size is the most common seen in Turned leg form around the clubs

the client was looking for alow cost table from ebay , this one came in at a shade over £150 to purchase the table , our intrsuctions was to collect from near Gainsborough , transport to near loughborough and install in an old Barn on a country house estate .

We recovered the table in 6811 Tournamnet and replaced the nets and leathers , also supplied a S/H set of ball rails as old one's where falling apart .

The Barn is unheated at the moment but the client is installing a large Log burner and is also putting oil filled radaitors under the table , the Barn is very large and we could fit in three full sized tables with room to play around all of them .
The table looked very rough when we stripped it down , but I think looks very presentable after the Recover , the frame has some sunlight bleaching on one end and down one side where it was against a patio door in it's old location .
they are not serious players and this will just be a bit of fun for his Boys who are aged around 10/12 years old .
nice early xams present from Dad .

Lucky they have a Dad who is so rich.

The table was only £150 thats £51 more than a wood bed argos table .... but I know what you mean it's not just the purchase of the table it's the cost of removing it , recovering and new nets and leathers , and the transporting and rebuilding of it ...plus the Barn to put it in .
