FAQs

Designed during the American Revolution in 1775 by Christopher Gadsden, the flag features a coiled rattlesnake above a motto and served as an early patriotic symbol of independent resistance.

Flags from this era were typically crafted from natural fibres such as cotton, wool bunting, or silk, using screen-printing techniques or pieced stitching.

Authentic period pieces exhibit natural fibre construction, period-appropriate weave density, age-related colour fading, and characteristic edge wear or fraying.

A framed textile can be hung as a focal point in a study, hallway, or living space, complementing dark timber furnishings, leather seating, and classic architectural details.

To prevent fibre degradation, display the textile behind UV-filtering glass away from direct sunlight, maintaining a stable temperature and low ambient humidity.
