Fascinating piece of British royal history! This large, authentic vintage 1937 commemorative flag/banner features King Edward VIII ahead of his scheduled coronation on May 12, 1937. Because he famously abdicated the throne in December 1936 to marry Wallis Simpson, this coronation legally never took place—making surviving, large-scale memorabilia highly collectible.
Measuring an impressive 32\" x 20\", this is a full-sized display banner, not a small hand favor. Features a striking portrait of the uncrowned King set against the Union Jack.
Condition: Exhibits a natural, aged cream patina/browning consistent with 90-year-old textiles. There has been a couple repairs and there are a few marks, holes and edge wear. However, it still has bold colors and clear graphics. Perfect for framing, historical ephemera collectors, or eclectic vintage decor. Sold as-is, please see photos for details.
