Cast iron fireback with Royal Coat of Arms

This antique cast iron fireback dates back to the 18th century.

It is adorned by the Arms of France and chiefly by the Coat of Arms of the Royal House of Bourbon, a French family who has become one of the major dynasties in Europe.

The Bourbon Kings reigned over France from 1589 to the French Revolution. The Coat of Arms represents a crown made up of 3 Fleurs-de-Lys (the Royal House), flanked by palm branches (the victory). We can also note the chain of the Order of Saint Michael and the chain of the Order of the Holy Spirit
