Acquiring the Australian Colonial Billiard Table
Your valued donations to our Annual Appeal in 2022 helped us acquire the Australian Colonial Billiard Table and scoreboard for the National Historical Collection.
These masterpieces of late 19th-century Australian design reveal a unique colonial view of Australian life and were created in the 1880s to showcase Australian craftsmanship to the world.
