Antique French Louis XV 'Pillars with Fleur De Lys' Fireback / Backsplash
About the Item
18th century French Louis XV period fireback with Pillars with a Fleur de Lys. Symbol for purity and aristocracy throughout Europe. The Fleur de Lys (lily) has been partially truncated after the French Revolution as fleurs de lys represented royalty and aristocracy throughout Europe. The pillar refers to the club of Hercules, his favorite weapon. It symbolizes power. Since antiquity the ‘Pillars of Hercules’ are also the name of the promontories at both sides of the Strait of Gibraltar. Hence they also symbolize the frontier between the known and unknown world (Nec Plus Ultra, "nothing further beyond"), and later they also became symbols for the opposite, i.e. taking risks and confronting the unknown (Plus Ultra, ‘further beyond’). In the Spanish royal coat of arms they represent for the overseas possessions.
The fireback is made of cast iron and has a natural brown patina. Upon request it can be made black / pewter.
