billiard tables in famous objects like castles, palaces etc.

[Lukasz]

Hi,

I’m looking for billiard tables (especially carom billiard) in famous, historic objects like castles, palaces, hotel etc. in Europe or in other countries.
For example from Russia:

Rare photos of the Imperial residence right before the Revolution of 1917

These rare photos were taken by photographer Karl Kubesh in the Winter Palace, the imperial residence of Tsar Nicholas ӀӀ.

Many of us dreamed of having both a full size pool table and a 3 cushion table in our homes.

And to think, we would only have to have been born a Hearst to achieve it

Cool. Thanks!
So they got both, pool and carom. Just like in Hearst Castle.
Was it some kind of tendency in USA to have both?

If you're that rich, you don't have to choose between one or the other, just get both. One of my friends is fortunate to have two rooms, one for pool and second for carom table.

Yeah Biltmore had a nice looking one. Another place that comes to mind is the officer quarters up at the fort on Mackinac island. Old carom table if I remember right.

The Breakers' billiard room in Newport RI is amazing, but no carom table.
