Up for sale is a massive, visually striking piece of Americana wall decor.
This large-scale, 13-star American flag features the historic circular canton configuration. It has been intentionally and dramatically distressed to showcase frayed edges, deep fabric weathering, and open tattering, giving it the ultimate rustic, time-worn appearance.
Key Details:
Stunning Presentation: Professionally mounted and showcased within a large wood-finish frame over a light cream backing that makes the dramatic tattered details pop.
Impressive Scale: The frame measures an impressive 57 inches wide by 36.5 inches high, making it a perfect anchor piece for a living room, office, loft, or commercial space.
Condition Notes: The flag itself is heavily frayed, weathered, and torn. This structural breakdown is intentional to enhance its rustic, folk-art character. The frame exhibits minor storage wear along the edges but remains structurally sound and ready to hang. Please see high-resolution photos for exact cosmetic detail.
Because movie studios utilize extensive prop houses, an individual flag of this style is rarely tied to a single film unless explicitly specified by the sale house catalog. It is highly likely this specific prop was used as a background set dressing in period-accurate historical films, television series, or war dramas set during the American Revolutionary War or the 19th-century Centennial era.
Notable Hollywood productions that prominently use this exact style of weathered 13-star prop flag include:
The Patriot (2000)National Treasure (2004)
Turn: Washington's Spies (TV Series, 2014–2017)
John Adams (HBO Miniseries, 2008)
This unique piece was acquired directly from a Hollywood movie prop sale.
