Measuring approximately 9 feet 9 inches by 6 feet, its large scale and strong visual presence make it a powerful piece of American history. Flags of this period were produced as the United States emerged as a global power, and the 45-star configuration reflects a brief but historically significant moment following the admission of Utah to the Union.

Constructed of early textile materials with sewn stars and stripes, the flag has a wonderful sense of movement and authenticity that only comes with age. Its generous proportions make it especially striking when displayed, whether framed, mounted on a wall, or used as a dramatic backdrop in a historic or Americana-inspired interior. Pieces of this size were often made for public buildings, parades, or patriotic displays rather than everyday household use.

In nice antique condition with wear consistent with age and historical use. There is expected fading, fabric wear, and minor imperfections that speak to its authenticity and survival over more than a century. A rare and evocative piece for collectors of early American flags, military-era memorabilia, or historically important textiles. See less
