The Chicago flag appears in its classic form, with two horizontal stripes of teal framing a cream-colored center band punctuated by two deep red six-pointed stars. The surface shows a weathered, distressed quality that gives the composition a vintage patina, as if the flag has been exposed to years of urban elements while maintaining its iconic geometry. At home in a living room celebrating civic pride or midwest heritage. Printed to order directly onto lightweight aluminum with a high-gloss finish that makes color and detail pop and resists fading over time. A wood backing floats it about three-quarters of an inch off the wall and holds the wire or sawtooth hanger. Available from mini to large, it is original art with a modern, durable edge, not a quick print off a shelf.
