Summary |
Technical Information: From the 2003 Brunswick Billiards Sorrento sell sheet: Graceful European styling gives the Sorrento timeless elegance. The Sorrento showcases Brunswick's heritage of inlaid tables which date to the 1870's. Featuring exquisite geometric hand-inlays, this is a table destined to become a family heirloom. The European style draws from English and Continental influences spanning the 16th through 19th centuries, encompassing Regency, Georgian, Louis XIV and others. The Revival of European styling resulted from growing middle class affluence during the 1920s, when people expressed interest in regal "old world" furniture. The European tradition exemplifies stately, aristocratic elegance, cerebrating organic patterns and complex wood grains. European in style, the Sorrento showcases the timeless expression of hand-inlaid craftsmanship. Brunswick first produced hand-inlaid tables from 1870 through the 1880s and then again from 1911 through 1930. This table features distinctive geometric inlay shapes made of crotch mahogany on walnut with lines of ebony on the rail aprons and side sills, as well as mother of pearl diamond rail sights. Constructed of exotic Brazilian curubica and beautifully finished in Original Mahogany, the Sorrento comes with a uniquely designed tapered leg, ball and claw, Queen Anne and Ram's Head legs are also available. The Sorrento is available in 7, 8 and 9' models. Material specifications: Rails: curubixa Aprons and base frame: inlay veneer Legs: Poplar Sights: Mother of pearl High performance nut plates, dove tails The Sorrento has a matching wall cue rack available at 2003 MSRP $649.
