9115   Originally from a New England home, a perfect example of an early 20th century Shaker symmetrical and reversible ravel table rug.  Afforded exemplary care it appears to have had minimal use.  A rhythmic wiry texture in red, olive, tan, rust, navy, gold and brown of unraveled and hand loomed woolen fabrics characteristic of Shaker frugality.  A festive compliment to a table or wall.  Size: 63”L x 29”W   $290.00

9100   1875 - 1889, the 39 star US flag was produced in anticipation of the entry of the Dakota Territory as a single state.  But, the territory was split into North and South and admitted as two states on July 4, 1889 rendering it as an unofficial US flag, superseded by the official 40 star version.  This is an early example of capitalism at its finest.  The flag is printed on cotton, whose canton includes alternating rows of tumbling stars with points up and points down.  Professionally mounted and framed (UV glass, hand stitched acid free mat, spacer between glass and flag, reinforced frame).  Although there is a slight stain at the upper right, it appears to have been stored and unused and remains excellent condition.  Well deserved to be prominently displayed.  Flag size: 33.25”L x 25”W  Frame size: 38”L x 28.5”W   $875.00

9163   From 1917 - 1918 a double sided military service blue star flag or banner with five appliquéd stars on both sides.  Its dimensions indicate that this would have been displayed by a company or organization to honor five members serving in the Great War, World War I.  It is made of wool, has two brass grommets (one at either end) and beyond the minor fraying at the bottom corners and a couple of tiny moth holes in the red field it remains in excellent condition.  A patriotic symbol with obvious significance yet unknown as to whom the stars represent specifically.  Truly a piece for thoughtful display.  Size: 68”L x 45”W   $350.00
