Boston Billiard Emporium
combines a passion for antiques
with painstaking craftsmanship.
PROfile
The “Golden Age of Billiards” lasted from the 1860’s until the Great Depression. During this
period, a billiard table was not simply a game table, it was a piece of furniture of the highest
caliber. These tables were made by the finest artisans, using rare woods from all over the world.
Since 1975, Boston Billiard Emporium has been New England’s leading conservator of
antique billiard tables. Owner Stephen Kelly combines his love of antiques with the painstaking
craftsmanship required to bring the exquisite billiard tables of a bygone era back to their original
grandeur.
Their tables have been featured in books, movies and magazines, as well as on NECN’s
“Dream Home” and PBS’ “This Old House”. Many of New England’s interior designers as well
as architects have planned their client’s billiard room around a billiard table and accessories
purchased from Boston Billiards.
New pool tables are also available at Boston Billiard Emporium. These tables can be
customized by selecting the species of wood, color of stain, cloth and pockets so that the table
works better in your space. You will also find a great selection of accessories, as well as a fullservice
repairs department for anything that may go wrong with your table.
