BEING OFFERED FLAGS: Deaccessioned from the Flag Heritage Foundation. A Collection of flags originally created in the early 20th century for John Wanamaker’s famous Philadelphia department store. Wanamaker had been in the retail business in Philadelphia since 1861. As part of his decoration scheme for Wanamaker’s, beginning in 1903 Rodman Wanamaker commissioned reproductions of hundreds of historic flags to hang in the store. He included among his choices military colors used by American and French regiments, English armorial banners based on those of the Knights of the Garter, the flags of the world in the 14th century as shown in a manuscript by an anonymous Spanish Franciscan, and flags in many other categories.
Rodman Wanamaker commissioned studios in London (Charles E. Dunnage), Paris (Jacques Lambert), and Philadelphia (Grace Murphy; Zafero Studios) to create his flags. Although they were reproductions, they were first-class reproductions according to 19th century taste. They were made of silk, painted in oil paints and sometimes finished in gold leaf. Some were as large as nine feet square, and many had spearhead finials, tassels and cravats.
