About the Item

A highly important and incredibly rare, exceptional full sized (12 ft 6” by 6ft 6”) Arts & Crafts Glasgow Style oak billiard/snooker table and cue stand by the Scottish architect-designer John Ednie (1876-1934) for Wylie & Lochhead, circa 1905, with onward specialist fitting by the local Glasgow high end niche billiard table manufacturers, Norval & Sons. Provenance: "Ardenlea," Bearsden, Glasgow, et al. This is a special one-off commissioned table exhibiting the highly talented skills of Ednie at the time; a man truly at his peak. John Ednie was in fact the design studio head at Wylie & Lochhead of Glasgow and not EA Taylor as previously thought. The table clearly bears many hallmark similarities to other Ednie furniture and interior commissions undertaken by him during his tenure at Wylie & Lochhead, circa 1898/9-1906 and is reminiscent in form to other Ednie billiard tables only ever having been seen in period photographs or indeed illustrated. Its large and weighty tapered legs have carved panels on all four facets of the corner legs-three on the internal four and are detailed predominantly with Tudor and “Glasgow” roses, along with other flora. No two legs are the same, being completely individual, carry differing carvings and each terminate in Ednie's almost trademark three dimensional “peaked” crest cornices before adjoining the massive table top. Another notable, yet simple, design element utilised by Ednie are the use of “squares,” as seen here in the form of bolt-hole covers and indeed are common on all three of the table examples mentioned. Norval & Sons would have been been originally subcontracted by Wylie & Lochhead to construct and specially fit the table, including the supply of the existing original five slate beds (also stamped with the Norval & Sons name), with the carved legs and key woodwork supplied by Ednie's craftsmen–normal practice with specially commissioned billiard tables, similar to the way of “art cased” pianos of the period being designed by leading architects/designers yet manufactured by the obvious choices of Bechstein, Errard, Steinway et al. This form of billiard table is similar to the designs being produced by Charles Rennie Mackintosh and George Walton at the period but of which none have ever come to light. Table comes completely apart in several sections plus the five original heavy slate boards. Specialist removal and on-site fitting can be arranged.
