Antique Italian Royal Flag from the Kingdom of Italy era (pre-1946), featuring the Savoy shield and crown.
This is a large-format example measuring approximately 70 inches in length, consistent with flags used for naval, maritime, or government display rather than decorative or souvenir purposes.
The central emblem displays the classic House of Savoy shield (red field with white cross) bordered and topped with a royal crown, identifying it as a monarchical Italian flag used prior to the abolition of the monarchy in 1946.
Construction appears to be period-correct with hand-applied or early dyed elements, and the flag shows clear signs of age and authentic use.
Condition:
• Noticeable wear, staining, and discoloration throughout
• Tear through the center of the shield area
• General fabric aging consistent with vintage maritime or outdoor use
• Mounting points/hardware still present
This piece presents with strong historical character and would display well as an authentic antique maritime or European royal flag.
Approximate Size:
~70 inches long (large format)
A scarce and visually striking example of Italian royal history, ideal for collectors of maritime, military, or European historical memorabilia.
