Lot 383: Large Vintage Multi-piece Sewn Bunting Union Jack Flag
This lot comprises a large-scale vintage Union Jack of traditional multi-piece construction. The flag is manufactured from individual segments of dyed bunting fabric, which have been stitched together to form the design, rather than being printed. The material is a coarse-weave textile consistent with wool or wool-linen blends historically used in maritime and military flag production for durability. The hoist edge is reinforced with a white canvas sleeve. A small white manufacturer’s label is sewn into the seam of the hoist edge, though the printed characters are not clearly legible. A white auction lot tag is attached to the bottom left corner bearing the printed number 383 and the handwritten number 9653.
