Contessa
Contessa, from the catalogue index — the only picture of it the archive kept

The Contessa is Palason Billiard's masterstroke. A grand table in the Louis XV style, featuring beautiful ornamental mouldings accented with delicately sculpted appliqués. The attractive cabriole legs and decorative mouldings flow into one another creating extremely graceful curves. The Contessa is sure to lend and air of stately elegance to your home. This solid oak table is finely crafted with pride by our skilled artisans. Every surface, edge and corner is hand sanded to ensure a silky smooth feel. A wiping stain is applied, followed by a sealer, more sanding and double coat of lacquer. The resulting fine furniture finish is durable, soft to the touch with deep, rich, even tones.

The table top is original Italian slate, renowned for it's superior quality and playability. It is precision ground to within 1/1000 of an inch to provide a perfectly level and smooth playing surface.

Top rails are solid northern red oak, 1 3/4" thick. This deluxe rail is a special feature reserved for our very best models and will please the most discriminating of clients.

Aiming sights are precisely inlaid, pearlescent or brass, and will allow you to play the angles with pinpoint accuracy.
