Cox & Yeman

The Billiard table manufacturers Cox and Yeman, was established in the 1850’s and by 1873 was trading from premises at 184 Brompton Road, London.

Famed for the quality of their tables they are recorded as supplying important patrons such as the Duke of Wellington, the Earl of Jersey, the Nwab Nizam of Bengal the Duke of Richmond and the King of Siam.
