About the Item

19th Century Civil War (Post) Inlaid Framed Shell Confederate Flag Collage USA, Likely Crafted Post-Civil War This remarkable 19th-century framed shellwork collage is a masterful example of coded artistry, likely crafted in the post-Civil War era. Measuring 23 inches high by 31 inches wide, the piece is an intricate mosaic of inlaid shells meticulously arranged to form a striking rendition of the Confederate battle flag, originally designed by William Porcher Miles of South Carolina. The flag’s design is skillfully recreated using natural shell materials, creating a textured and dimensional effect that pays homage to the artistry of the period. The collage is housed in an exquisite two-part satinwood inlaid walnut frame, constructed in a shadowbox style with protective glass. This finely crafted frame, measuring 27 inches high by 35 inches wide and 2 inches deep, enhances the visual depth and historical significance of the piece while preserving its delicate details. Such shellwork creations were often produced as sentimental tributes or memorial pieces following the Civil War, symbolizing allegiance, remembrance, or reconciliation. The refined craftsmanship and use of high-quality materials suggest that this was a commissioned or highly valued historic work. This exceptional artifact offers collectors, historians, and Civil War enthusiasts a unique and visually compelling piece of post-war commemorative folk art, embodying the era’s craftsmanship and cultural symbolism. A rare and historically significant addition to any collection. Overall Measurements: Shell Collage: 23 inches high x 31 inches wide Framed: 27 inches high x 35 inches wide x 2 inches deep
