ABOUT PRODUCTID 12291
This set of two Germina Elite tennis rackets from the 1960s, crafted in Germany, exemplifies the mid-century modern approach to sports design. Each racket is constructed from layers of honey-toned wood with a pronounced natural grain, finished in a glossy lacquer that accentuates the wood's depth and imparts a subtle sheen. Distinctive cream-colored bands on the head and throat are complemented by geometric stripes in black, red, and yellow, creating a rhythmic pattern characteristic of 1960s aesthetics. The handles are wrapped in dark brown leather grip tape, showing moderate yet authentic signs of use, while minor scuffs and small scratches on the frames underscore the vintage provenance. The stringing remains intact and evenly tensioned, and original branding and lettering are clearly visible. Condition: good, with typical traces of age and use, no major damage or repairs.These rackets evoke the spirit of 1960s sporting elegance, from an era when tennis was as much a social ritual as a competitive discipline. The polished wood, shaped by years of play, carries the energy of past matches, while the geometric stripes reflect the optimism and boldness of the era's design. Their proportions and meticulous detailing recall a time when both function and appearance mattered in everyday sporting objects.Such a pair could be displayed on the wall of a living room or study, alongside mid-century sports posters or minimalist wood and leather furnishings. They would also work well in a collector's interior, serving as a visual counterpoint to contemporary lighting or colorful textiles. Pairing them with other vintage accessories—such as an old suitcase or a retro clock—would reinforce a mid-century mood and bring an authentic, sentimental accent to the space.
