Captured
in time
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 full-service
repairs department for anything that
may go wrong with your table.
