A standing invitation. We took a vintage Bancroft Bantam wood tennis racquet — warm honey-toned laminated frame, original leather grip, classic Bancroft "B" emblem — and threaded the word "Play" across the face in hand-knit turquoise yarn. A felted yellow tennis ball nestles into the strings, the perfect punctuation.

It's part sporting trophy, part folk-art love letter, and entirely one of a kind. Hang it in a sunroom, a kid's bedroom, a club-inspired bar area, or anywhere that could use a little summer-on-the-court energy year-round.

Pair with our "Ace" Vintage Tad Davis Wood Tennis Racquet for the ultimate courtside collection.
