UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS PENNANT OF NOTABLE WEIGHT & QUALITY, IN THE OLD COLOR SCHEME, MADE DURING OR IN THE WAKE OF WWII Marine Corps pennant, made of heavy felt with a dark blue ground, with a flocked (Silvet-painted) device and lettering in harvest gold, with an applied, gold felt binding and blue felt ties. The colors used to represent the Marine Corps changed over time. Though the present combination of scarlet red and gold were formally adopted in 1925, American military traditions die hard, tending to be as difficult to extinguish as the men and women of their ranks. In this regard, the Corps was far from an exception. 14 years would, in fact, pass before the official change caught up with Marine Corps flags...

This exceptional 19th-century Pennsylvania Dutch appliqué quilt, meticulously hand-stitched in the mid-1800s, stands as a rare and museum-quality example of early American textile artistry. Created entirely by hand from individually cut and sewn fabric elements, the quilt reflects the extraordinary craftsmanship, patience, and devotion characteristic of the finest 19th-century domestic needlework traditions. The composition features a refined floral appliqué pattern with four large-scale circular and leaf motifs rendered in soft pale blue and rich red tones, elegantly set against a luminous ivory ground. A finely executed sawtooth border frames the design, adding both visual structure and architectural balance to the overall composition. Each panel was individually hand-stitched, making this piece not only visually captivating, but also historically significant as a true labor of love. Highly sought after by collectors, curators, and interior designers, 19th-century hand-stitched American quilts have become increasingly rare and desirable. Due to its delicate beauty and sculptural visual presence, it is especially well-suited for use as wall-mounted textile art.
