Vintage Tea-Stained Appeal to Heaven Flag – 3×5 Cotton

Step back in time with this meticulously crafted cotton Vintage Tea-Stained Appeal to Heaven Flag, a symbol that not only adorned the masts of the early American naval ships but also captured the spirit of liberty that fueled the American Revolution. Measuring a proud 3×5 feet, this flag isn’t just a piece of fabric; it’s a slice of history, an emblem of the indomitable American spirit. From our Texas gifts and Antiqued Historical US flags decor collections.

The evergreen tree and letters are actually pieces of cotton fabric (appliques) that are sewn onto the flag with an embroidered satin stitch around the edges.

We custom antique these by hand and so each one will be differently shaded with that wonderful soft, old-looking antique flag feel. This Appeal to Heaven flag normally measures roughly 36 x 60 inches (3 by 5 foot) unstained, but you should expect shrinkage of at least two to three inches in each direction from the antiquing process. Two metal grommets are attached on the flag hoist side.

We also offer these battle flags in a custom frame made of reclaimed wood made and assembled here in Texas. For more information, the pricing for the 3 x 5 framed US flags shown at the bottom of this page are the same price.

A Piece of History in Your Hands

Imagine the year is 1775, and the American colonies are on the brink of forging a new nation. General George Washington commissions a fleet of six schooners, known as “Washington’s Cruisers,” and atop each flies a flag with a green pine tree on a white background, with the stirring words “An Appeal to Heaven.” This flag was not just a banner; it was a declaration of the colonists’ right to fight for their freedom under the laws of nature and nature’s God.

Now, you can own a replica of this iconic flag, stained with tea to give it that authentic, battle-worn look, as if it has weathered the storms of the Revolution itself. The tea-staining process ensures each flag has its own unique character, mirroring the individuality of the patriots who fought for freedom.

Craftsmanship That Honors Tradition

Each flag is made from high-quality cotton, chosen for its durability and ability to hold color, ensuring that this piece of history can be passed down through generations. The tea-staining process is done by hand, providing an aged appearance that speaks to the flag’s storied past. The edges are carefully hemmed to prevent fraying, yet they retain a rustic charm that complements its vintage appeal.

A Symbol of Resilience and Hope

The “Appeal to Heaven” phrase emblazoned on the flag serves as a reminder that hope is God is the only secure remedy, help ever available beyond the reach of oppressive rule. This flag stood for the belief in a divine endorsement of the American cause, a poignant message that resonates even today.
