Adler 5x10 Pool Table

The item is a large, rectangular pool table with a dark finish, likely wood or a wood-like material, possibly oak or mahogany given its classic design. The size is indicated as 5x10, suggesting a professional or oversized billiard table. It features substantial, ornate turned legs, with one leg shown in detail exhibiting intricate carved or cast scrollwork and floral motifs, indicative of a decorative, possibly Late Victorian or early 20th-century style, or a reproduction of such. The table appears to be in good overall condition, with no visible significant damage or wear from the black and white image. The dark finish has a slight sheen, suggesting regular maintenance or a relatively well-preserved surface. The pockets are integrated into the rail, typical of standard pool table construction. The craftsmanship seems high quality, with attention to detail in the leg design. The manufacturing details are provided as "Pool Tables by Adler, 820 S. Hoover St., Los Angeles, California 90005, 382-6334," which suggests a commercial manufacturer, likely from the mid-20th century or later, based on the presence of a telephone number format typical of that era. The visible surface of the table appears to be felted, in a consistent dark tone, contributing to the substantial and robust appearance of the piece. The overall design emphasizes durability and classic aesthetic appeal.
