Banner of the Dauphine of France (Belgium) STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

A quartered rectangular banner in royal blue and yellow, carrying a gold fleur-de-lis and a blue dolphin with red fins.

Visual Elements & Composition

Royal blue and yellow share the field almost equally, with gold and a touch of red picking out the charges. The banner is a quartered rectangle, a structure that gives the design a flag-like, heraldic shape. The gold fleur-de-lis is the classic French royal symbol, and the blue dolphin with red fins sits as its counterpart. The composition is bold and flat, with no lettering, and each charge is set clearly against the colour behind it.

Meaning & Symbolism

The Dauphine was a title held by the heir to the French throne and by the heir's spouse. The dolphin is the traditional emblem of the Dauphiné, the territory whose title passed to the French heir, and the fleur-de-lis stands for the French crown. Together the two charges express royal lineage and the ceremonial weight of a historical designation that survives in heraldry.

On the Kiss-Cut Sticker

A kiss-cut sticker follows the outline of the artwork, so the banner can be trimmed to its quartered edges and sit on a surface with no frame around it. It suits a laptop lid, a journal cover or a window pane, where the fleur-de-lis and the dolphin can be seen up close as they were meant to be read.
