The team at Bankshot just completed restoration of this "St. Bernard Mission" pool table. Manufactured between 1906-1911, this was one of several Craftsman-style tables offered by the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Co. According to Brunswick's PastPerfect web site, the largest billiard hall in the world (circa 1908, Pittsburgh, PA), had 54 of these. Can you imagine walking into that room?

La Partie De Billard by Jean Beraud (French artist, lived 1849–1935). Beraud was a faithful reporter of all aspects of life in Paris. Friend of Édouard Manet, Edgar Degas and Toulouse-Lautrec, I wonder if they played billards together?
