This item is an accessory for a toy minifigure, consisting of a historical national flag mounted on a small black flagpole with a base.
The flag shown is a historical version of the French national flag, representing the Kingdom of France during the 19th-century period of constitutional monarchy, such as the Bourbon Restoration (1815-1830) or the July Monarchy (1830-1848).
The design is a symbolic combination of the revolutionary French Tricolour and the ancient emblems of the French monarchy:
- It features the three iconic vertical bands of blue, white, and red.
- Overlaid on the flag are golden fleurs-de-lis. The fleur-de-lis is a stylized lily that was the traditional emblem of the French kings for centuries. Adding this royal symbol to the revolutionary Tricolour was meant to represent the blending of the new French nation with the old monarchy.
The flag piece itself is a small, printed plastic tile. This accessory is perfect for creating minifigures and dioramas of 19th-century French history, including the later Napoleonic period.
