From the Artist: The Fiery Fleur-De-Lis Story The Fiery Fleur-de-Lis Sculptural Firebowl is a tour de force in fire and steel that adds a regal flair to any setting. Whether you are hosting an intimate gathering of your inner circle, plotting an award winning landscape design or seeking an intriguing focal point for a trendy new French Bistro, bring a touch of royal elegance to your outdoor setting with the Fiery Fleur-de-Lis. Leaping from the coals you can clearly see the fiery steed of a chevalier manifesting the ancient symbolism of faith, wisdom and chivalry associated with this design. The history of the fleur-de-lis design goes back centuries but its message and ambiance are as timeless as the steel from which these firebowls are born. Think warmth of design. Think style and elegance. Long said to be a symbol of divine favor, the stylized flower design of the Fleur-de-Lis is found in nearly all cultures throughout history and is associated with a rich constellation of meanings. My favorite is the archaic variant fleur-de-luce or "Flower of light" which so precisely describes this firebowl. Gaze upon the flames flowering like a night blooming lily from this stylized design and savor the daytime silhouettes, shadows cast like a sundial upon the soil. While it may not be possible for everyone to recreate the enormous French paterre, formal gardens like those seen at the brilliantly opulent Palace of Versailles, the price of the Fiery Fleur-de-Lis brings it well within the reach of modern formal gardens. No matter how humble the size of your estate the Fiery Fleur-de-Lis can add majesty and class that expands the feel of your garden to the far horizons. Create your own version of these well-known odes to green, with affordability and individual expression. Warranty and Return Policy John T. Unger offers a Dynasty Guarantee on all Sculptural Firebowl models available to vendors, meaning they will last many lifetimes. He follows the same return policy as Amazon's A-to-z Guarantee. All artwork is eligible for return and replacement if it arrives damaged or broken or is materially different than represented as described. Sculptural Firebowls may arrive with some marks or scratches due to the fact that they are made from recycled materials. These scratches are considered to add history and character rather than being a defect eligible for return. Firebowl Patina and Finish All bowls are shipped with natural patina. If the rust finish is a concern (particularly around pools or fountains) a high temperature spray paint can be used to paint the bowl on site. High temp spray paint for grills is available at most any hardware store and will work fine on your firebowl. You can also use high temp automotive spray paints designed for engine blocks. These come in a wider color selection and can be found at auto parts stores. Painting the bowl is recommended only once it is on the site where it will be used. It is harder to fix a scratch in paint than it is to paint from scratch, and scratches are likely to occur during shipping. John T. Unger does not have the facilities to paint firebowls before shipping. Should any stains occur after painting, they are easy to remove with household cleansers designed to remove rust such as CLR. Firebowl Safety If you plan to use your firebowl on a wooden or plastic lumber deck, you MUST place a heat shielding pad, firebrick or concrete paver under the base. The firebowl does not transfer enough heat to set fire to a deck, but the base gets hot enough to brand marks into the wood. The best way to insulate a deck when using a gas firebowl is to make a small square of firebrick to set the bowl on. This allows you to easily run gas from below without having to drill or cut holes in a one-piece barrier. Other options include using a concrete paver (like a round stepping stone) or a slab of stone. Chidren and pets should be closely supervised around the firebowls. The steel does get hot when a fire is in use and the bowl can be sharp when handled without work gloves. Allow firebowls to cool for at least several hours before touching the steel. Abraham Lincoln was known to read Euclid's Geometry by candlelight, convinced its mathematical proofs would quicken his logic and oratory in the courtroom. The King Isosceles firebowl is a modernist homage to this classical approach to eloquence, and my hope is that it will inspire your stories told round the blaze.
