Vintage silver-tone tennis racket brooch, retro costume jewelry

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Fancy brooch depicting a tennis racket, made of silver-plated metal, in a vintage style. The object is presented on a white fabric, within a box richly adorned with gilded baroque motifs. The brooch is distinguished by its faithful racket shape, with a checkered pattern evoking the strings and a finely worked handle. The clasp visible on the back of the brooch suggests a classic fastening system for this type of jewelry.

The surface of the brooch exhibits a uniform patina, characteristic of antique costume jewelry. The silver-plated metal, mentioned in the keywords, offers a slightly matte appearance, with some visible signs of wear on the upper side, particularly on the handle and around the "strings". No other decoration than the shape and the main motif appears on the visible face.

The box on which the brooch rests is not included in the offer (only the brooch is described here), but it highlights the contrast between the discreet jewelry and the highly ornate environment. The baroque-inspired reliefs of the box emphasize the retro character of the whole and highlight the decorative style of the brooch.

This costume jewelry is perfect for everyday use or to accessorize a chic sports outfit. Its design evokes a passion for tennis while remaining elegant and discreet thanks to its clean lines and silver finish.

The brooch is a second-hand item, sold as is. Some signs of use and a slight patina are visible on the surface, consistent with its age and previous use.

Did you know? Brooches depicting everyday objects, such as tennis rackets, were particularly popular in fashion from the 1950s to the 1970s. They allowed one to elegantly display a passion or hobby, while remaining accessible through the use of silver-plated or gold-plated metal.
