Description
Patriotism, craftsmanship and history combine in this striking hand-sewn Australian flag, an impressive 115" long by 54" tall textile made with fully appliqued stars, a pieced Union Jack canton, and a beautifully aged blue field. 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 a 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 applique. Fully intact and display-ready.
A rare, character-rich textile with graphic impact and genuine handmade charm.
