White Marble Sculpture Coat Of Arm With Fleur-de-lis

after 1800

About the Item

A very interesting Coat of arms, sculpted in white marble with symmetrical structure and double scroll decoration as well as acanthus leaf carvings. With central depiction of a lily flower in the coat of arms. The fleur-de-lis, also spelled fleur-de-lys, is a common heraldic charge in the shape of a lily (in French, fleur and lis mean 'flower' and 'lily' respectively). Notably, the fleur-de-lis is depicted on the traditional coat of arms of France used from the Early Middle Ages until the French Revolution in 1792, and then again in brief periods in the 19th century. Also used in the heraldic symbolism of other nations, the lily became "at once religious, political, dynastic, artistic, emblematic and symbolic"; such as The Virgin Mary and St. Joseph are among the saints often depicted with a lily. Some modern uses of the lily reflect "heraldry's continued presence in everyday life", often intentionally, but also when users are unaware that they are "prolonging the life of centuries-old insignia and emblems".
