The French have a special name for it: Pavoiser. Sailboats decked out with stringed lengths of country and signal flags. What could be more festive? Bright reds, whites, blues and yellows reflected in the sunlight. Visitors out for a day, walking the docks, enjoying the sights, visiting navy vessels open to the public for that one day. Or the Royal Yacht visiting the Ottoman court in Istanbul, flags flying and the firing of cannons in a royal salute. String from wall to wall, for anniversary d?cor, kid's parties, garden fests. Easy to string together with nautical wood toggles. Double fabric with detailed stitching makes them usable on both sides. Quality fabric, fun application.
