NEWLY DISCOVERED 7 STAR CONFEDERATE 1ST NATIONAL FLAG.

NEWLY DISCOVERED 7 STAR CONFEDERATE 1ST NATIONAL FLAG. This flag measures 41″ x 71″ including a 2-1/2″ silk fringe. This flag was recently discovered framed, (No longer present but causing the folding damage and tack marks.)in an estate and was said to have come from a Tennessee Estate. Stripes measure about 12″ each, canton measures about 24″ x 22″ including a 1-1/2″ folded hoist which was probably used as a sleeve for pole attachment. Flag is very well made by seamstress with good sewing skills with the double applique silk stars measuring about 4-1/2″ from point to point which are displayed in a 6 star shooting position, with the 7th star placed in the center. The red stripes are a wool blend, white stripe is a silk. The blue dye in canton has faded to a light blue. Flag has scattered damage as can be seen in photographs, however the flag is quite sound and supple and could be displayed easily. CONDITION: Red bars are solid and complete with good color. There are a few small holes caused by insects and a 10″ long x 1/4″ strip in center of flag in top bar where wool warp is solid but red weave is missing. The central white silk bar is fragile but still very solid with scattered holes from insect damage with tears and reductions where flag was folded through its center. Damage continues in a line from the top red bar through this white bar but disappears before the bottom red bar. The canton is sound and solid, again with scattered holes from insect damage especially at a central longitudinal fold, as can be seen in photos. All silk stars are complete and intact with only minor damage, especially to the one star that falls into the longitudinal fold in canton. Canton has faded severally to a light green-blue more pronounced on obverse than reverse. Silk fringe is intact and complete and well bound to all three sides of flag. Hoist is complete with damage and slight reduction at both ends. 4-42133 JS52 (15,000-25,000)
