Description

This is an authentic antique silk cloth insert from the early 20th century, specifically the "Animals and Flags" series. These were originally distributed as premium collectibles over a century ago. This specific piece features a striking blue-grey long-haired cat representing Persia, set against a historical white flag with a red and green border. Series: Animals and Flags (circa 1914–1915) Number: 11 Subject: Persian Cat Material: Printed silk fabric Backing: Blank/Unbacked Condition: Excellent vintage condition; the colors are bright and the print is crisp. There is characteristic light fraying along the top and side edges consistent with age and the nature of the silk material. Dimensions: Approximately 2" x 3.25" Collector Note: Because this silk is unbacked (blank on the reverse), it shows the beautiful, delicate woven texture of the fabric when held to the light. It is a perfect addition to any collection of antique textiles, cat-themed ephemera, or historical "silk cards."
