HAWAIIAN MONARCHY FLAGS ANTIQUE QUILT

HAWAIIAN MONARCHY FLAGS  ANTIQUE QUILT
   

 



Monarchy flags are rare finds and usually organized as four flags that surround and frame the royal crest. DAppliqued on this example are the crown and royal crest with iconic tassels and drapes and garlands. The royal family King and Queen were deposed when the islands were colonized by the U.S. in the late 1800s. Very few examples remain, and this one is in excellent barely used condition. The quilting outlines the various red white and blue strips of the flags giving the piece an added texture as well as a pictorial intrigue. Price upon request
