FAQs

An antique snooker scoreboard is a wall-mounted wooden apparatus historically used in billiard halls and private residences to track scores during cue sport matches.

Traditional scoreboards were constructed from hardwoods such as mahogany or oak, featuring brass sliders, painted rotating rollers, and central glazed cupboards.

Authentic period scoreboards feature maker plaques from established billiard manufacturers, hand-painted numbering, original brass fittings, and natural timber wear consistent with age.

These pieces serve as decorative wall accents in home bars, studies, or games rooms, functioning both as historical artwork and compact storage.

Keep the wood away from direct heat sources and moisture, dust regularly with a dry cloth, and apply beeswax periodically to preserve the original polish.
