The fleur-de-lis is a stylized lily or iris that is often used as a decorative design. In French, “fleur” means flower and “lis” means lily. So the entire phrase simply means “lily flower.”
While the fleur-de-lis has appeared on innumerable European coats of arms and flags over the centuries, it probably most well known for its association with the French monarchy in a historical context. It continues to be a lasting symbol of France that appears on French postage stamps, and even though it has never officially been adopted by any of the French republics, the fleur-de-lis has become emblematic of France.
The fleur-de-lis is a beautiful and classy design that is used as a decorative touch in many pieces of furniture. This lily flower will add elegance and style to your backyard furniture, and although it is a somewhat minute detail, the smallest touches can make the hugest difference.
