Product Description

Handmade Croquet Set on Stand For many, the name of Jaques is synonymous with croquet. Though the game had existed in some form or another for many years, it was John Jaques II introduction of the game at the Great Exhibition in 1851 that brought the game the attention it deserved. The games popularity proved infectious, & it became hugely popular throughout the British Empire in a matter of years
- indeed, it was said that " Nothing but tobacco smoke has ever spread so rapidly". For his display at the Exhibition, John Jaques II won a Gold medal & cemented Jaques of London's place in sporting history. JJ II was widely regarded as the foremost authority on the game, & in 1964 published ' Croquet; the Laws & Regulations of the Game', by which (with some revisions) the game is still played today. Nowadays there are croquet clubs all over the world, with many millions of casual players. A sport that can be played by man or woman, young & old, it is with some pride that Jaques of London can say they are still producing the highest quality croquet sets 160 years on from John Jaques II's first presentation. Reigate Croquet Club, reopened following the end of World War II, has grown in stature since, & is now one of Surrey’s most respected clubs. The club’s popularity inspired this fine handmade croquet set, presented on a polished wooden stand similar to one made by Jaques in Edwardian times. Keep it on display in your entrance hall, instead of an umbrella st&, & you will attract many admirers! It comes with 4 Full size, polished & handmade hardwood mallets with a set of 4 colour full size Challenge balls
- ideal for family play, whether a serious competition game or the shorter golf croquet version. Included are a set of lovely heavy duty paint baked hoops, a painted winning post indicating order of play, a set of hoop clips, & the Jaques' Croquet Rulebook.
