About the Item

This framed and printed sheet Rule frame is very unusual because it actually features the rules of three games Billiards, Life Pool and Pyramid pool. Printed by the famous Glasgow manufactures Norval, in its original pine and gilt frame with original characterful glass. Usually only one game is explained, but this condensed rule summary, layout and decorative approach embellishing the paper with such elegant motifs and images makes this Rule sheet unique. Norval's business was originally established in 1866, the elegant, well fitted, and heavily-stocked showrooms were at 49, Argyle Street, while the works are at No. 57 in the same thoroughfare.
