The flag is constructed with a deep blue canton filled with 48 white stars and individually joined red and white stripes, creating the texture and character sought after in older American flags. Its substantial scale gives it exceptional decorative presence and makes it particularly well suited for a large wall, loft, library, study or Americana-inspired interior.

The fabric has acquired an appealing timeworn character, with softened red, cream and blue tones along with natural age-related toning and wear. Rather than detracting from the piece, these characteristics give the flag the authentic appearance of an object that has survived decades of use and storage.

A wonderful decorative piece of 20th-century Americana and an increasingly desirable alternative to modern printed flags.

Condition:

Good vintage condition with visible age-related toning, fading, creasing and general surface wear. Some localized wear is present consistent with age. Colors remain attractive and the flag presents beautifully as a vintage decorative textile. Please review photos closely for condition. See less
