Throw Blanket - Billiards
In the 19th century a poolroom was a horse race betting parlour. Pool tables were installed so the bettors could pass time between horse races. Billards, or pool, is the descendant of a game similar to croquet that was played in 15th-century Europe. Though we don't know for sure, it is strongly suspected that billiards came to America with Dutch and English settlers. By the 1700's, skilled cabinet makers were crafting beautiful tables, though the equipment was, otherwise, quite primitive. Fifteen-ball pool came on the scene in the late 1800's and grew in popularity through the 1940's. Billiards was revived in 1961 with the release of the movie THE HUSTLER. It enjoyed another surge in the mid 1980's with the release of the movie sequel, COLOR OF MONEY. Since that time, there has been an evolution of the environs in which we find pool tables -- they're in restaurants and night clubs and sports bars, allowing pool to find a modern audience and new generations of enthusiasts. This marvellous design is layers of billiard balls in varying sizes for greater depth. They are scattered all over a "green felt" backdrop. This fabulous throw blanket is an excellent choice for Father's Day or for your favourite pool shark.

I ordered an art deco sofa pillow in the design shown. I wanted a woven throw in that design as well, but they had quit making anything but fleece throws (which I didn't want). I kept in touch with the designer (she is in England, I'm in USA) and she talked with Zazzle. When they began making woven throws again, I jumped on it and ordered this! When I received it, it was about commemorating someone's 100th birthday - not at all what I ordered. I talked with Zazzle and the designer and the problem was quickly rectified. They didn't even ask that I return the original wrong throw. This throw is beautiful, matches the pillow perfectly, and is just what I wanted. Emms Childs, the designer, was delightful to work with and Zazzle gave great customer service - very professional, prompt and kind to replace it quickly and not require me to return the incorrect one. It is crisp with the colors true to the photo. Excellent.

Creator Review
A beautiful small blanket that is perfect for covering your legs while curled up in front of the fire, or for a decorative touch on the sofa. We also think it looks brilliant as a Christmas table centerpiece. We are delighted with it. The colors are absolutely perfect. Vibrant yet traditional. The pattern retains its lovely details despite the texture of the fabric. Very classy product that will not disappoint as a gift.
