HONORING
...the USA Semiquincentennial Year

The Flag of Today — Reimagined in Tartan

In commemoration of the United States Semiquincentennial Year, this framed edition presents the modern Star-Spangled Banner—as interpreted through the official tartan design by Scottish artist Steven Patrick Sim, registered as Tartan #13214.

Rich navy fields, bold white stripes, and vibrant red accents echo the colors and geometry of today’s United States flag—representing unity and serving as a constellation of hope in the 21st century.

Set within a deep black mount and oak frame.

“I was born in the shadow of Arbroath Abbey—where freedom was first declared. This tartan reaches across the Atlantic to honour America’s own stand for liberty.”

Stevie Sim—The Tartan Artisan.
ARBROATH.

The Star-Spangled Banner

FLAG OF 1814

O say can you see, by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
O’er the ramparts we watch’d were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there,
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

A Limited Edition Giclée Print of 1,776 copies BY THE TARTAN ARTISAN® – SCOTLAND [signature]

~ ~ ~

Star-Spangled Banner (Flag of 1814) – TARTAN #13214 – In celebration of the Semiquincentennial Anniversary of the United States of America, marking 250 years since the Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776–2026.

Two and a half centuries of independence, liberty, and unity—ideals reflected in the RED, WHITE, and BLUE of the American flag.

~ ~ ~

This commemorative tartan was created to honor the Star-Spangled Banner—the historic US flag carried during the War of 1812, and the same “Great Garrison Flag” that soared above Fort McHenry during the pivotal Battle of Baltimore on September 13, 1814.

For 25 hours, British warships relentlessly bombarded the American fort, sending a barrage of shells and rockets. At dawn on September 14, the sight of the flag still waving inspired Francis Scott Key to write the poem “Defense of Fort M'Henry.”

The poem not only bestowed the flag’s enduring name but also became the lyrics of the United States national anthem. The tartan's sett is designed to visually embody the Stars and Stripes—the colors of the flag—and the explosive drama of that historic night.

Its thread count bridges past and present: 15 blue threads and 15 red threads represent the 15 stars and 15 stripes of the Star-Spangled Banner; 13 threads in the broad red and white stripes, and 50 threads in the dark blue field, honor the present-day United States flag.

This tartan stands as a woven tribute to the enduring spirit of VALOR, PURITY, and PERSEVERANCE—qualities symbolized in the flag’s colors—that define America at its 250th anniversary.
