Civil War Relic, Elmer Ellsworth Secession Flag, Jefferson Davis Chair Piece

Description

It is with pleasure that I am offering this authentic, original Civil War relic grouping. Incredibly rare, I have never before seen a trio like this offered before. Included is a piece of the oil cloth where Elmer Ellsworth fell, a piece of the secession flag that Ellsworth recovered, and a section of Jefferson Davis' Senatorial chair. Each mounted on a period civil war envelope, with descriptions as follows:
"The oil cloth from the hall in which the brave Col. Ellsworth fell-On the lower margin may be seen traces of his blood".
"Portion of the 'Rebel Flag' which Col. Ellsworth hauled down from the house of the Assassin Jackson"
"A section from the cushion of Jeff Davis' Senatorial Chair".
Each is clearly identified in pencil. Condition is excellent considering age of the relics. Some oxidation can be seen on the lower end of the oil cloth, perhaps suggestive of the blood stain as mentioned above.
Colonel Elmer Ellsworth (1837-1861) was especially offended by the large "secession flag" flying atop the Marshall House in Alexandria, VA, which was visible to Abraham Lincoln in the White House, and when he entered Alexandria with the 11th New York on May 24, 1861, he was determined to take it down. While descending the stairs with the flag, he was confronted by the innkeeper, an ardent secessionist named James W. Jackson, who fired a shotgun blast into Ellsworth's chest at point blank. However, Francis E. Brownell, a corporal in Ellsworth's "Fire Zouaves," responded immediately with a fatal bayonet strike to Jackson. Ellsworth was the first conspicuous Union casualty of the war and the incident became a rallying point for soldiers and citizens throughout the North. Pieces of the flag, Ellsworth's uniform, the Marshall House sign, and even the bloodstained floorboards immediately became popular patriotic souvenirs, and over 30 years later the event was still memorable enough that Brownell's wife was able to sell small pieces of the flag to raise money following her husband's death. Brownell was awarded the Medal of Honor in 1877, and the remaining section of the flag eventually ended up in the New York State Military Museum
Item measures 4.75" by 2". An exceptional chance to grab this impossibly rare grouping. Would make a truly unique item for display in any advanced collection.
