Our client and his wife brought in this tattered, old camp pennant they scored at a local antique shop. We worked with them to select the perfect hand-wrapped fabric mat on which to float the pennant.
The tall, dark and handsome cherry-wood frame made a lovely home for the 1918 banner, but this project presented a few challenges. The American flag had begun deteriorating in the left-hand corner of the pennant, so our framer delicately pieced those red and white stripes back together.
Our framer/owner, Eric, hand stitched the 61.75" by 25.5" pennant to a hand-wrapped sea-foam green fabric mat.
Eric then carefully pieced back the frayed, fragmented American flag.
