When you think of enduring craftsmanship, certain symbols rise above trend and time. The fleur-de-lis, with its centuries-old heritage, is one of them. At Old West Iron, we’ve honored that legacy in our British Fleur-de-Lis Iron Collection—a line of hand-forged hardware that brings regal charm and heirloom quality to both traditional and modern spaces.

A Symbol of Nobility and Strength

The fleur-de-lis, which translates to “flower of the lily,” has long been a symbol of royalty, purity, and resilience. From medieval coats of arms to colonial architecture, this design has spanned continents and empires. Our British take on this timeless motif pulls inspiration from English and French decorative arts, particularly the stylized ironwork found on gates, hinges, and architectural accents throughout Great Britain’s estates and churches.

What You’ll Find in This Collection

Every piece in our British Fleur-de-Lis Collection is forged with intent—combining old-world elegance with the rugged utility you’ve come to expect from our hardware. Whether you're restoring a manor, designing a statement gate, or just looking for something that feels historic yet refined, this collection delivers.
