The Ludlow Foundries Fleur de Lys Letter Plate Black Antique has a classic design and would make a wonderful addition to any front door. From the Ludlow Foundries antique black range of door furnishings, the Fleur de Lys wrought iron letter plate would prove a striking addition to classically styled doors.
Malleable wrought iron is prone to rusting so careful maintenance is required to retain its appearance. The antique letter plate must be regularly oiled and every once in a while it will need an application of clear wax. Even more attention is needed for wrought iron placed in exposed coastal locations.

Historical Design
Evidence of decorative ornaments similar to the Fleur de Lys have emerged in artwork from the very earliest civilizations. French for ‘lily flower’, the distinguished design has appeared on numerous European coats of arms and flags over the centuries but it is mainly associated with the French monarchy. The design is used in a number of Ludlow’s black antique door furnishings.
