CONFEDERATE UCV 4TH TENNESSEE BATTLE FLAG.

A beautiful & expertly framed Confederate style battle flag measuring approx. 33" x 30" housed in a frame measuring 45" x 40 3/4". This flag is of a standard “Stars & Bars” design w/ 13 stars on a central blue cross edged w/ thin white borders. The field of the flag is red w/ a white border. To the left of the blue cross in the red field is the designation “4TH”. Above the cross is the word, “TENNESSEE”, to the right of the cross is the word “CAVALRY” & below the cross are the words, “FORREST’S OLD BRIGADE”. The construction of the flag is machine sewn however the added designations are hand sewn. The body of the flag is cotton but at some point in its life, white felt was sewn around the outside edges & the hoist. The frame is modern & very attractive. The mat is steel blue & the edge of the frame is a deep walnut color w/ interior gilded highlights. A visually impactful flag emulating the flag of the 4th Tennessee Cavalry. CONDITION: the flag, though not examined out of frame, looks remarkably stable & well preserved. There is some insect damage & loss to the upper left corner of the added felt. (02-16099/BF). $2,000-4,000.
