The Billiard Room
The game of billiards became extremely popular during the 19th century. Here, the Billiard Room was created from an 18th century drawing room.

As a room where men regularly retired after dinner, it has a masculine feel. It is not too difficult to imagine the congenial atmosphere, the soft lighting of the oil-lamps above the red glow of the fire, the gaselier gently hissing, focusing its light on to the green baize of the table and the blue-grey ribbons of cigar smoke drifting above.
