Product Description

In 1756 nearly 60 acres of timber were used to construct the warship "Royal George". It was the flagship of the British Fleet. In 1772 it capsized off the Isle of Wright. After many years the Thurston Company acquired a quantity of the ship oak timbers. The wood that had been underwater for nearly 40 years had become petrified. This lumber was used to produce 18 of these very special tables. Some of which were used at conservatory’s at Windsor

castle and Buckingham Palace

. This table has since passed through a few owners since then. After A.E. Schmidt took ownership of the tables, it went through a complete restoration. In the past twenty years it has become a favorite of another British treasure “The Rolling Stones” who have requested use of this exquisite snooker table on their three visits to St.Louis.
