The Fleurs de Lys Escutcheon from Ludlow Foundries is an elaborate, angled looking escutcheon. It would suit any classical styled building, such as a cottage, a castle or a manor house. From the Ludlow Foundries beautiful antique black range of door furnishings, the Fleur de Lys Escutcheon will add an ageless look to any door.

Historical Design

Decorative ornaments similar to the Fleur de Lys have appeared in artwork from the very earliest civilizations. French for ‘lily flower’, the widely recognised design has appeared on numerous European coats of arms and flags over the centuries but it is mainly associated with the French monarchy.

Care and Attention Needed

Malleable wrought iron is especially liable to rusting so careful maintenance is required to retain its authentic appearance. It is important to regularly oil the escutcheon and every once in a while it will need an application of clear wax. Even more attention will be required for wrought iron placed in exposed coastal locations.
