Fleurs-de-lis, the iconic stylized lily, holds a rich history rooted in French heritage. Originating from the royal House of Valois, the fleurs-de-lis was a favorite emblem of the Dukes of Orleans, including Louis I, second son of King Charles V of France (1371-1407). This elegant symbol adorned the gilded helmet of Charles VI (1368-1422) and was featured prominently in artworks like the handcoloured lithograph by Leopold Massard after a fresco in the Carmelite cloisters in Toulouse. The fleurs-de-lis even graced Savon de la Reine soap labels in the early 1900s, showcasing its enduring appeal. In various art pieces, such as the etching "Louis d'Or" by Goldsmit, the fleurs-de-lis symbolizes the power and prestige of the French monarchy. Its timeless beauty continues to inspire and captivate, making it a cherished emblem of French culture and history.
