Summary |
Technical Information: From the 2002 Bensinger Sell Sheet: Richly reminiscent of days gone by, the sophisticated craftsmanship or the european-styled Bensinger table reflects nearly two centuries of incomparable Brunswick quality. Dignified and stately, this impressive table is an enchanting addition to any room. The European grandeur of the Bensinger is an echo of turn-of-the-century Brunswick tables. Stunning hand-carved inlays on the legs and sills are crafted from walnut and mahogany crotched burl veneers. 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. Mother-of-pearl cat's-eye rail sights mimic the intricate inlays. Constructed of Brazilian mahogany and exotic Brazilian curubixa rails, the Bensinger features a lovely old world finish and is available in eight foot and nine foot models. The Bensinger table presents faithful design aesthetics in the context of supreme engineering and superb performance and playability. The table feature's Brunswick's exclusive SuperSpeed cushions for extremely accurate rebound angles, patented cross bolt construction, Brunswick certified premium slate and High Performance Nut Plate construction for lasting table stability. As a result, balls play truer on Brunswick tables than on any other make. Backed by a Lifetime Ownership Warranty. 2002 Material Specifications: Rails, aprons, legs and base frame: Mahogany Sights: Mother of pearl with ebony inlay High performance nut plates and dovetails |
