Charles Porter Pool Tables
 

With an enduring legacy of artistry and excellence that transcends mere functionality to become a centerpiece of artistry and heritage, Charles Porter pool tables stand unparalleled. Renowned for their meticulous craftsmanship, exquisite materials, and timeless designs, these tables are not just gaming equipment—they're heirlooms that embody a rich legacy of woodworking mastery.

​

Unmatched Craftsmanship and Design

Charles Porter pool tables are celebrated for their exceptional craftsmanship, a tradition upheld by Porter & Sons. Each table is handcrafted using some of the world's most exotic and luxurious woods, such as Carpathian Elm Burl, African Sedua, Zebrawood and Brazilian Rosewood. These materials are chosen not only for their durability but also for their unique grain patterns and rich colors, ensuring that every table is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.

​

The attention to detail extends to the finishes as well. Porter & Sons offers hand-rubbed lacquer finishes, including a deep, rich piano finish reminiscent of a Stradivarius violin, and a French Patina finish that provides a soft satin sheen for an antique look.

​

Superior Materials and Playing Surfaces

Beyond their aesthetic appeal, Charles Porter pool tables are engineered for exceptional play. Each table features a slate bed at least one inch thick, diamond-honed to ensure a perfectly flat playing surface. The slate is carefully selected for its low moisture content, making it resistant to warping and cracking over time.

​

The cushions are made from professional-grade vulcanized AAA gum rubber, providing consistent and lively rebounds. High-quality 21-ounce wool blend cloth enhances ball control and durability, and is available in various colors to match your decor.

​

Distinctive Features and Customization

One of the standout models, the Renaissance 9′ Wren Pool Table, exemplifies the brand's dedication to artistry and functionality. Constructed from Honduran mahogany, it features intricate abalone inlays set into piano-finished elm burl rails. Leather net drop pockets adorned with hand-tied braid and silk tassels add a touch of elegance. This model, originally crafted in 1969, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Charles Porter's designs.

​

Customization is a hallmark of Porter & Sons. Clients can choose from various wood types, finishes, cloth colors, and decorative elements to create a table that perfectly fits their aesthetic preferences and functional needs.

​

A Legacy Carried Forward

The legacy of Charles A. Porter continues through Porter & Sons, where his son Dwight T. Porter and grandsons Charlie and Cameron uphold the family's commitment to excellence. With over four generations of experience, the Porter family continues to set the standard for quality design and superb craftsmanship in the billiard tables and game room furniture industry.
