A striking antique American flag featuring the 48-star configuration, used from 1912 to 1959, spanning the WWI and WWII eras. This piece is constructed from substantial cotton canvas with individually sewn stars and pieced stripes, giving it a depth and authenticity not found in later printed examples.
Marked “AJAX 9 FT,” suggesting a utilitarian or maritime origin, with reinforced stitching and original tie details intact. The weight and construction reflect a time when flags were made for durability and outdoor use.
The surface shows a beautifully aged patina, soft fading, tonal variation, and natural wear that lend a relaxed, collected feel. This is not a crisp ceremonial flag, but rather a character-rich textile ideal for decorative use, or would look beautiful framed.
A compelling Americana piece with a strong Ralph Lauren sensibility, perfect draped over a bench, layered into a wall installation, or used to add warmth and history to a space.
