Heritage Banners creates bespoke flags, ceremonial banners and decorative insignia inspired by historic design. Using traditional workshop methods, careful stitching and hand-finished detailing, we undertake commissions for heritage displays, reenactment groups, civic occasions and private collections across the United Kingdom.
Discuss a CommissionOur workshop creates flags, standards and symbolic pieces from carefully selected cloth, with sewn panels, appliqué, embroidery and hand-finished details where appropriate to the commission. We work from historical references, heraldic motifs and client-provided material to develop designs with an authentic period character, while ensuring that dimensions, finish and intended use are clearly agreed from the outset.
Flags and banners are carefully assembled using traditional cutting, stitching and finishing methods suited to decorative and ceremonial textile work.
Crests, emblems, lettering and decorative motifs can be reproduced through appliqué, embroidery or other hand-finished detailing appropriate to the design.
Period references, heraldic source material and supplied artwork help guide the style, arrangement and character of each commissioned piece.
Whether intended for indoor display, reenactment, ceremonial presentation or a private collection, every project is planned around its purpose and setting.
Every commission begins with its purpose: heritage display, reenactment, ceremonial use or private collection. We then establish the required dimensions, design references, symbolic details, fabric, finish and mounting requirements. Depending on the piece, construction may include cut-and-sewn colour panels, appliqué, embroidered elements and carefully finished edges. Where a historic style is requested, reference material helps shape the proportions, motif placement and overall character of the final banner.
Heritage Banners produced a Tudor-style standard for our display with excellent attention to proportion, detail and overall period character.
We commissioned regimental colours for a historical display. The embroidered elements and finishing gave the completed pieces exactly the presence we required.
Our Viking-inspired banner had the handcrafted character we wanted, with thoughtful attention to the emblem, colour balance and final presentation.
