Lot 212: Three Vintage Mid-20th Century Printed Cotton Union Jack Flags
A group of three vintage Union Jack flags, likely produced for mid-20th century national celebrations or maritime use. The flags are constructed from a printed natural fibre textile, appearing to be cotton. The designs feature the standard Union Flag pattern with printed red and blue pigments on a white ground. There are no visible maker’s marks, broad arrow stamps, or manufacturer labels on the fabric. The construction suggests mass production for civilian or commemorative purposes, such as WWII victory celebrations or coronations. Dimensions are based on an accompanying handwritten note and should be verified upon physical inspection.
34 x 16 inches
27 x 16 inches
21 x 20 inches.
Condition report:
The flags are in vintage condition with visible signs of age and use. There is significant yellowing and staining across the white panels of all three flags. The fabric exhibits creasing and minor fraying at the edges. Colours remain relatively bold with some light fading consistent with age.
