dunhill/Jaques Table Tennis Range

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.
