Victorian Silver Bangle with Two Tennis Racquets

442S
520 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

An unusual silver bangle that was made circa 1880 and features two tennis racquets with a tennis net behind with a swallow and greenery. Tennis first began in England in the mid 1800s. At that time Victorian ladies held highly regulated lives. They weren’t allowed to pick flowers in parks or to attend public meetings. They were, however, allowed a few leisure activities and one of the most popular was tennis. It began as a casual sport but once the men got involved, the game became more competitive with score-keeping. Official rules for tennis were finalised in 1874. This bangle may have been given as a gift to a talented female tennis player!
