Velvet Rackets
©Copyright Racket Sports Heritage
These small strung rackets are elegantly trimmed in velvet and gold, and
date to the early 1800s. The strings are intact and turned at every
crossing, a technique that disappeared in the late 1850s. The Collection
includes several other examples of this type, along with a large and
diverse group of sheepskin vellum rackets. Superb gems and very rare.
