Best of British

With the World Cup just round the corner, it's time to get patriotic...

Amongst the glut of Union Flag cushions, tea towels, rugs and tea cosies that are currently flooding the shop shelves, what about hanging a REAL Union Flag on your wall?


We have a marvellous stash of original Coronation flags printed on cotton and linen, which we've mounted onto canvas and had professionally framed so that they can be seen and appreciated in their full splendour. As the name suggests (!), these were usually produced as part of the celebrations for royal festivities. These ones date from the coronation of Edward VII in 1902, through to that of our present Queen, Elizabeth II, in 1953.

Why settle for 'Union-Flag-inspired' when you can have the Real McCoy? There's even the odd bit of discolouration and/or authentic rip to add to the charm and authenticity of these 'Genuine Articles'.

They work brilliantly as birthday or wedding presents - prices start at £35.00 and go up to £350, depending on the size and age of the flag. The smallest framed size available is 12" x 18" (30.5cm x 45.7cm) whilst the largest we currently have in stock is 36"x 48" (91.4cm x 121.9cm) - now THAT would be a true patriotic style statement!
