Vintage Imperial Wooden Tennis Racquet with Davis Cover

An American Tennis Classic

A beautiful example of American tennis craftsmanship, this vintage T.A. Davis Imperial wooden tennis racquet recalls an era when the artistry of the game extended to the equipment itself.

Founded in the 1930s, T.A. Davis became known for its carefully constructed wooden racquets and innovative laminated frame designs. The Imperial was among the company's recognizable models during the mid-20th-century wooden racquet era, combining traditional craftsmanship with elegant detailing.

This example features a honey-toned wooden frame, rich brown throat accents, delicate gold striping, and the distinctive Imperial name. Accompanying the racquet is a vintage white Davis cover featuring bold red and blue stripes and the TAD insignia—a wonderful complement to this collectible piece.
