Its generous scale and tactile, handmade construction set it apart from later printed examples. A flag of this size was most certainly used on a large ship, naval warship, or in an official government capacity, such as a capitol building.

Entirely sewn by hand, the flag features individually cut linen stars, layered red and white stripes, and a substantial hoist edge—details consistent with mid-century to earlier 20th-century flag-making traditions. Light fading, irregular stitching, and natural wear throughout give it the authentic, time-softened character collectors love.

Perfect for:

A dramatic large-scale wall hanging

A collector of Commonwealth or maritime flags

A boutique, loft, or coastal space needing a bold, graphic textile

Layering into Americana & global design vignettes à la Ralph Lauren Home

Dimensions: 115" W × 54" H
Condition: Vintage wear consistent with age, including creasing, scattered thread variations, and light toning to the white linen appliqué. Fully intact and display-ready.

A rare, character-rich textile with graphic impact and genuine handmade charm. See less
