When John Jaques introduced Croquet at the Great Exhibition in 1851 it quickly became the vogue throughout the British Empire. Thus putting Jaques at the forefront of the spread of croquet as a sport. In 1864 John Jaques II, wrote and published Croquet; the Laws and Regulations of the Game. He was regarded as the greatest authority on the game at the time. And today, (with some revision) the game of croquet is still played by those rules.

This set is Jaques beautiful Mahogany Edwardian Miniature Croquet model. It is an exact replica, reintroduced some years ago, of a design we produced in Edwardian times. This version very often is played on a full size snooker table, or it is equally suitable for playing on a court set upon the living room carpet.

The stunning polished wooden mallets are 11inches long, and a set of matching 1st color wooden balls, in blue, red, black and yellow. The 6 brass, weighted, hoops and winning post function well and allow the playing of most croquet strokes.

A wonderful alternative to after dinner TV over the long winter months, when croquet on the lawn is not possible. The purchase of an indoor croquet set makes a lovely gift for the croquet enthusiast. Also makes a beautiful centerpiece for your games night!
