Historically the design stood for a lily or iris flower. Showing wear and rain effects from outdoor exposure it takes on orange and brown effects that add an old look to it. The colors make a neutral palate for interior decor or can be enhanced with a bright orange to show it off in a cafe or bistro, if not your favorite French ambience!
In Medieval England, from the mid-12th century, a noblewoman's seal often showed the lady with a fleur-de-lis, drawing on connotations of "female virtue and spirituality". Images of Mary holding the flower first appeared in the 11th century on coins issued by cathedrals dedicated to her, and next on the seals of cathedral chapters, starting with Notre Dame de Paris in 1146. A typical portrayal was of Mary carrying the flower in her right hand, just as she is shown in that cathedral's Virgin of Paris statue (with lily), and in the centre of the stained glass rose window (with fleur-de-lis sceptre) above its main entrance. The flowers may be "simple fleurons, sometimes garden lilies, sometimes genuine heraldic fleurs-de-lis". As attributes of the Madonna, they are often seen in pictures of the Annunciation, notably in those of Sandro Botticelli and Filippo Lippi. Lippi also uses both flowers in other related contexts: for instance, in his 'Madonna in the Forest'.
The three petals of the heraldic design reflect a widespread association with the Holy Trinity, with the band on the bottom symbolizing Mary. The tradition says that 'without Mary you can not understand the Trinity since it was she who bore the Son."
