You’ll see two general styles because shoppers look for both current and historic designs. Our assortment typically includes:

• Modern national design: Listings may mention the “Islamic Republic of Iran” flag.
• Historic Lion & Sun design: Often labeled “old,” “historic,” “heritage,” or shown with date ranges (for example, 1964–1980).

To pick the right one, match the design in the photos to what you want to display. Then check practical details like size (2x3 ft, 3x5 ft, desk or handheld), material (polyester or nylon), printing (single- or double-sided), and hanging style (grommets or pole sleeve). Features such as double stitching and UV fade resistance can be helpful for outdoor use, but durability varies with conditions.

On this page, “old” or “historic” Iran flags usually refer to tricolor banners featuring the Lion and Sun motif, which many customers use for heritage displays or themed décor. You’ll see them described as “historic,” “heritage,” or with specific years.

• How to spot it: Look for a lion-and-sun emblem in the product images.
• Sizes: Commonly 2x3 ft or 3x5 ft, plus mini desk and handheld versions.
• Materials: Options include lightweight polyester, heavier polyester, and nylon.
• Print style: Single-sided (design shows through) or double-sided (reads correctly on both sides).

Compare photos and specs to ensure you’re getting the exact look and finish you want for indoor or outdoor settings.

Flag designs can evolve across different historical periods. Our selection reflects that variety, so you’ll find both modern national designs and heritage Lion & Sun styles. We don’t provide political analysis, but you can use product details to choose the version that suits your display.

• Look for labels: Listings may say “Islamic Republic of Iran” for the modern design or “historic/heritage” for Lion & Sun.
• Check years: Some items reference date ranges to signal a specific era.
• Match your use: Consider whether you’re decorating, attending a cultural event, or creating a collection.

Once you’ve picked a style, review size, material, printing, and hanging features to fit your space and conditions.

The Lion and Sun emblem appears on many historic Iran flags and is often used for heritage-focused displays. It’s a well-known traditional motif, and you’ll see it on products labeled “old,” “historic,” or “heritage.”

• Finding them: Filter by design terms or compare images to spot the motif.
• Display choices: Options range from 3x5 ft outdoor flags to mini desk flags.
• Build details: Printed or embroidered looks, single- or double-sided printing, and reinforced hems are common.

If you plan to hang it outdoors, consider weather-friendly features like UV fade resistance and double stitching. For indoor décor, lighter fabrics and single-sided prints can be a practical, budget-friendly choice.

Start with where and how you’ll display it, then match specs:

• Size: 3x5 ft works well for many home displays; 2x3 ft fits smaller spaces; table flags (~4x6 in) and handheld minis are great for desks and events.
• Material: Polyester is a popular, everyday choice. Nylon can offer a smoother finish and quick-dry performance. Higher denier numbers (e.g., 150D, 200D, 400D) usually indicate thicker fabric.
• Printing: Single-sided shows through in reverse on the back; double-sided reads correctly on both sides.
• Mounting: Grommets suit hooks or halyards; pole sleeves slide onto a staff.

For windy or sunny areas, reinforced hems and fade-resistant fabrics can help, though longevity varies by climate and care.
