The Billiard Room

An obvious essential in this room is the billiard table. This table is full-sized, with a slate base. The slate is about 50 mm (or two inches) thick. As the table weighs over two tons, the floor is reinforced.

The height of the table lights can be adjusted and a pulley beside the chimney controls windows above the table. These could be opened to allow pipe and cigar smoke to escape.

The room also houses many precious examples of Japanese furniture and items collected over many years by the Theomins.

The original billiard rack and scoreboard are masterpieces of details.

The billiard room hosts an impressive collection of Punch cartoons.
