Dunhill has partnered with games manufacturers Jaques of
London to make a Table Tennis range, which comprises a fully equipped table and
professional standard bat and ball set.
A sport dominated by the Chinese on the international
circuit, not many know that table tennis actually has its origins in England as
a leisure game played by upper class Victorians in the 1880s.
Thus it is perhaps fitting that a British-based company
should develop a table tennis kit fit for a champion together with Jaques,
whose founder John Jaques the third had invented the game more than 100 years
ago, and coined it “ping pong”.
Crafted in solid wood, and featuring a black cellulose and
resin-bonded surface, the table meets all International Table Tennis Federation
standards.
In addition, the table tucks away into a dunhill Heist
leather cover, with compartments for the bats and Autograph 3 star ball pack,
with matching individual cases also from the Heist leather range.
