Jaques Of London who first introduced the game of Croquet at the Great Exhibition in 1851 have a luxurious range of Croquet Mallets to view and purchase on the Jaques Website. At the very top of this beautifully handmade mallet range is the Solomon Croquet Mallet. Exquisitly made from Lignum Vitae which, because of its large oil conent has to be pegged (dried out) for four years. The Solomon Croquet Mallet has been a favourite with lovers of this lovely game, as it was designed by world Croquet champion John Solomon, and is made with a Lignum Vitae head, with solid brass rings protecting the faces. This Mallet is certainly suitable for tournamentplay as well as playing in the garden.
