Making billiards

Bierling de Schepper, billiard factory since 1887. The pictures show how they produced them. Fine craftwork from beginning till end. Proud people working day after day with an impeccable eye and thoroughly trained hands. All of that in the city centre of Groningen.

But… in 2015 the company that existed went bankrupt. They tried to start again in a nearby village, but this endeavour sadly failed. And so, after more then 130 years, this beautiful company became history.
