13 Star Antique American Flag with a 4-5-4 Star Pattern | Circa late 1800's. "The stars are arranged in a 4-5-4 pattern. Flags having such a pattern are among the most difficult of all thirteen-star flags to find, and they also have a fantastic visual appeal. Of the thirteen-star antique flags that come to market, around 75% are the 3-2-3-2-3 Hopkinson pattern, around 20% are the medallion pattern, and the remaining 5% are various different patterns, including the 4-5-4 and Betsy Ross patterns. The 4-5-4 pattern is generally encountered in flags dating to the Civil War and earlier, and only occasionally encountered in flags dating to the centennial and into the 1900s" Sealed behind glass this piece measures 54" wide by 41" h. Flag measures Approximately45" x 30"
