French Louis XV 'Arms of France' Fireback / Backsplash, 18th Century

About the Item

18th century French Louis XV fireback with the arms of France. This is the coat of arms of the House of Bourbon, an originally French royal house that became a major dynasty in Europe. It delivered kings for Spain (Navarra), France, both Sicilies and Parma. Bourbon kings ruled France from 1589 up to the French revolution as well some short periods thereafter. The coat of arms consists of a crown with three Fleurs-de-Lys (French Lilies, symbolizing the purity of nobility). The crown symbolizes royalty. Several elements of the coat of arms have been blunted during the French revolution. During that time it was forbidden to display symbols related to the monarchy. The fireback is made of cast iron and has a brown patina. Upon request it can be made black / pewter at no extra cost.
