The Maritime Flags

A celebration of Britain's rich maritime history, these original antique flag charts were once practical reference guides used to identify ships at sea, each one capturing the elegance and precision of traditional naval signalling. With their orderly grids of graphic flags and softly aged paper, every print possesses the unique character and patina that only an authentic antique can offer.

Each piece is individually presented in a handmade frame crafted from richly textured deep red wood, chosen to echo the bold tones found within the original illustrations. A soft Sea Salt mount creates a calm, gallery-like setting, while a subtle pale blue reveal adds an unexpected lift of colour that draws the eye to the print and reflects its nautical heritage.

As part of The Sunday Drop, each original is entirely one of a kind and will be sold separately. Once a piece has found its home, it cannot be repeated—making it a distinctive addition for collectors, lovers of coastal interiors, or anyone seeking artwork with both history and character.
