About the Item
Antique Tennis Stevengraph.
A rare late 19th century woven silk Stevengraph of a Tennis Match entitled "The First Set". This example forms part of a series by Thomas Stevens of Coventry depicting sporting and other subjects. The First Set (A Lawn Tennis Scene) is in original condition with original frame and mount. The scene is of a Victorian lawn tennis match with a mixed foursome. Spectators are seen around the perimeter, the ladies are holding parasols. The colours have not faded and are very vibrant. To keep the colours of the silk this way they should be stored away from sunlight as they are very light sensitive.
