“Fransk lilja” reproduction wallpaper by Lim & Handtryck The yellow iris has appeared as a stylized ornament, the heraldic lily or fleur-de-lis, for a very long time. It has been found for centuries in decor, fabric and wallpaper designs in neoclassical style. The motif is documented as a symbol of the French monarchy since the late 900s. French interiors have long influenced Swedish decor, not least during the reign of Gustav III (1771-92) and following Napoleon popularizing the French style of his time (Napoleonic or Empire style). -- source link
