What is the oldest pool table?

The oldest known pool table was in the collection of King Louis XI of France. It dates back to at least 1470 and appears on an inventory of his possessions. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of antique and vintage pool tables.

What is the difference between a billiard table and a pool table?

The difference between a billiard table and a pool table is primarily the size. The basic dimensions of a billiard table are usually 10’ by 5’, whereas a pool table is a relatively smaller structure, as they’re usually 3.5’ by 7’. An additional way that these tables differ from each other is the absence of pockets on the billiard table. Shop a range of billiard and pool tables on 1stDibs.

What is the difference between a snooker table and a pool table?

The difference between a snooker table and a pool table comes down to dimensions. Generally, a snooker table is larger than a pool table, also called a billiards table. The increased size is due to the fact that a snooker game typically uses a total of 21 balls, compared to the 9 to 15 used during a pool game. Both types of gaming tables have six pockets, but those on a snooker table are usually smaller than those on a pool table because snooker balls tend to be smaller than billiard balls. On 1stDibs, find a range of billiard and snooker tables.

What is the best lighting for a pool table?

The best lighting for a pool table won’t be too bright and will reduce glare and shadows on the felt during the game. If the light fixture is immobile, its height should be at least 65 inches, and if it is portable, its height should be at least 40 inches from the bed of the table. Any light directed on the players should not be blinding. On 1stDibs, find a variety of vintage and contemporary lighting solutions for your pool table.

How do I identify my old Brunswick pool table?

To identify an antique Brunswick pool table, look for the Brunswick name printed in large letters directly on the wood or on a metal plate attached to the side of the pool table or outer rail. Brunswick tables were only made with wood, so check to see if the rails are solid wood. Another aspect to inspect is how the table is put together. The brand’s website includes a long list of unique construction elements specific to their tables. Find a selection of Brunswick game tables and accessories on 1stDibs.

What table do professional pool players use?

Professional pool players play on tournament billiards tables. This type of billiard table usually has a 50-inch by 100-inch playing surface and is the type of pool table invented when the modern-day version of the game first debuted in the early 20th century. For home use, most people purchase standard pool tables that measure 44 inches by 88 inches. Find a wide range of pool tables on 1stDibs.

How do I identify an antique table?

You can identify an antique table in a number of ways. The first clue that a table is antique is the joinery. If a piece of furniture is dovetailed by hand, it only has a couple of dovetails, which are uneven. Also, antique tables are not defined by perfect symmetry. Lastly, antique tables were typically made of oak, mahogany, and walnut.

What is an antique rent table?

An antique rent table is a piece of furniture that landlords and tenants used to exchange rent. The rent money would be placed in one drawer, the table would rotate for the landlord to receive. It was considered polite and gentlemanly to pay rent this way. Shop a collection of antique rent tables from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.

How can you tell if a kitchen table is antique?

To tell if a kitchen table is antique, look under the table and on the legs for a maker's mark. It may be carved, branded or stamped onto the surface or appear on a paper or metal label. Using the marking, you can consult trusted online resources to learn about the maker and view catalogues of their pieces, searching for tables similar to yours. If your kitchen table was produced at least 100 years ago, it is an antique. Keep in mind that not all antique furnishings have maker's markings. In the event that you're unable to locate a mark, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can evaluate your piece for you. On 1stDibs, explore a diverse assortment of tables.

How can I identify my antique dining table?

To identify your antique dining table, first check to see if there is a maker’s mark on the underside. If there are no identifying marks or stamps, a furniture appraiser can check the style and the hardwood used to identify your piece. Shop a collection of antique furniture from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.

How can you tell if a side table is antique?

To determine whether a side table is an antique, closely examine its details. Older pieces will typically have telltale features like wood pegs, hand-cut dovetails with some slight imperfections and mortise-and-tenon construction. Tables that are a consistent color throughout or have machine-cut moldings or carvings are unlikely to be antiques. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer can be a helpful resource when dating tables. Shop a collection of antique, vintage and modern side tables on 1stDibs.

How do I identify an antique drop leaf table?

While you can look for markings and other details to try and determine the maker, the best way to identify an antique drop leaf table is to work with a certified appraiser. Trusted online venues and search engines can be helpful when conducting research on a specific collectible, piece of jewelry, art work or other item about which you may have questions, but qualified professionals, such as an antiques dealer or an appraiser at an auction house, have the knowledge and experience needed to make more accurate identifications. Shop a selection of antique, vintage and modern tables on 1stDibs.

Questions About Antique Pool Tables

What is the oldest pool table?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
The oldest known pool table was in the collection of King Louis XI of France. It dates back to at least 1470 and appears on an inventory of his possessions. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of antique and vintage pool tables.
What is the difference between a billiard table and a pool table?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021
The difference between a billiard table and a pool table is primarily the size. The basic dimensions of a billiard table are usually 10’ by 5’, whereas a pool table is a relatively smaller structure, as they’re usually 3.5’ by 7’. An additional way that these tables differ from each other is the absence of pockets on the billiard table. Shop a range of billiard and pool tables on 1stDibs.
What is the difference between a snooker table and a pool table?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024
The difference between a snooker table and a pool table comes down to dimensions. Generally, a snooker table is larger than a pool table, also called a billiards table. The increased size is due to the fact that a snooker game typically uses a total of 21 balls, compared to the 9 to 15 used during a pool game. Both types of gaming tables have six pockets, but those on a snooker table are usually smaller than those on a pool table because snooker balls tend to be smaller than billiard balls. On 1stDibs, find a range of billiard and snooker tables.
What is the best lighting for a pool table?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021
The best lighting for a pool table won’t be too bright and will reduce glare and shadows on the felt during the game. If the light fixture is immobile, its height should be at least 65 inches, and if it is portable, its height should be at least 40 inches from the bed of the table. Any light directed on the players should not be blinding. On 1stDibs, find a variety of vintage and contemporary lighting solutions for your pool table.
How do I identify my old Brunswick pool table?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
To identify an antique Brunswick pool table, look for the Brunswick name printed in large letters directly on the wood or on a metal plate attached to the side of the pool table or outer rail. Brunswick tables were only made with wood, so check to see if the rails are solid wood. Another aspect to inspect is how the table is put together. The brand’s website includes a long list of unique construction elements specific to their tables. Find a selection of Brunswick game tables and accessories on 1stDibs.

How do I identify an antique table?
2 Answers
1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
You can identify an antique table in a number of ways. The first clue that a table is antique is the joinery. If a piece of furniture is dovetailed by hand, it only has a couple of dovetails, which are uneven. Also, antique tables are not defined by perfect symmetry. Lastly, antique tables were typically made of oak, mahogany, and walnut.
Bonnin Ashley Antiques IncFebruary 23, 2021
In addition to the joinery you can check the bottoms of the drawers and the backs of the cabinets. If they were made prior to 1850 then the wood will most likely be dimensioned by hand. It will be uneven to the touch. The secondary wood that receives the veneer will have been scraped smooth but drawer bottoms, backs and bottoms are often left less finished.
What is an antique rent table?
2 Answers
1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
A rent table is a small circular or polygonal table with drawers. Rent tables frequently had drawers labeled for the days of the week, and English landlords in the 18th century often used them to collect rent. On 1stDibs, shop antique rent tables from some of the world’s top sellers.
How can you tell if a kitchen table is antique?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024
To tell if a kitchen table is antique, look under the table and on the legs for a maker's mark. It may be carved, branded or stamped onto the surface or appear on a paper or metal label. Using the marking, you can consult trusted online resources to learn about the maker and view catalogues of their pieces, searching for tables similar to yours. If your kitchen table was produced at least 100 years ago, it is an antique. Keep in mind that not all antique furnishings have maker's markings. In the event that you're unable to locate a mark, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can evaluate your piece for you. On 1stDibs, explore a diverse assortment of tables.
How can I identify my antique dining table?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
To identify your antique dining table, first check to see if there is a maker’s mark on the underside. If there are no identifying marks or stamps, a furniture appraiser can check the style and the hardwood used to identify your piece. Shop a collection of antique furniture from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
How can you tell if a side table is antique?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
To determine whether a side table is an antique, closely examine its details. Older pieces will typically have telltale features like wood pegs, hand-cut dovetails with some slight imperfections and mortise-and-tenon construction. Tables that are a consistent color throughout or have machine-cut moldings or carvings are unlikely to be antiques. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer can be a helpful resource when dating tables. Shop a collection of antique, vintage and modern side tables on 1stDibs.
How do I identify an antique drop leaf table?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
While you can look for markings and other details to try and determine the maker, the best way to identify an antique drop leaf table is to work with a certified appraiser. Trusted online venues and search engines can be helpful when conducting research on a specific collectible, piece of jewelry, art work or other item about which you may have questions, but qualified professionals, such as an antiques dealer or an appraiser at an auction house, have the knowledge and experience needed to make more accurate identifications. Shop a selection of antique, vintage and modern tables on 1stDibs.
