Vintage 1961 USTA National Champion Tennis Trophy

A wonderfully storied vintage tennis trophy awarded in 1961 and engraved “USTA National Champion / Age 15 / 1961.” The petite trophy features an ornate two-handled cup with scrolling foliate detail, a beautifully aged silver-tone finish, and a substantial dark pedestal base. Decades of authentic patina give the surface the layered, collected character that makes an old sporting trophy so compelling. A fantastic piece of American tennis history with just the right country-club pedigree for a library, bar, office, or sporting collection.

STYLING SUGGESTIONS
Display it exactly as a great old sporting trophy should be—layered among vintage tennis racquets, leather-bound books, framed sporting art, and collected brass or silver pieces. It is particularly handsome styled with preserved boxwood or a small topiary for a classic country-club look, or left empty so the original engraving and beautifully aged patina take center stage.
