Vintage Spelter Tennis Figure. This is a charming late 19th to early 20th century spelter tennis or probably badminton figure, likely made in continental Europe.

He wears a jacket, waistcoat, and trousers, along with a wide-brimmed hat. The player is captured in action, with one arm raised and holding a small racquet, mounted on a small circular marble base. The spelter tennis player has a silver coloured finish. Dimensions: Height 17.5 cm / 7" Width 9 cm / 3 " Depth 7 cm / 3"
