Patriotism, craftsmanship and history combine in this striking hand-sewn Australian flag, an impressive 115" long by 54" tall textile made with fully appliquéd 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.

A dramatic large-scale wall hanging
