Dieu et mon droit (old French Deu et mon droit), meaning "God and my right" is the motto of the Monarch of United Kingdom outside Scotland.

It appears on a scroll beneath the shield of the version of the coat of arms of the United Kingdom
The motto is said to have first been used by Richard I (1157–1199) as a battle cry and presumed to be a reference to his French ancestry (indeed he spoke French and Occitan but knew only basic English) and the concept of the divine right of the monarch to govern.

It was adopted as the royal motto of England by King Henry V(1386–1422) with the phrase "and my right" referring to his claim by descent to the French crown.

Antique iron is prone to weathering and rusting over time. For some, this aging process adds to the character of the piece. However, if you wish to preserve your holder, we recommend painting or spraying it, or coating it with a protective lacquer.

All our Antique Iron Products are submitted to a five-stage Hand Finishing Process. For authenticity, we do not lacquer any of our products, however all are lovingly waxed by hand in the factory in the Yorkshire Wolds. This is a maintenance wax, and serves as a basic protection to moisture.

Our Antique Iron products may show light surface rust if exposed to damp environments. If necessary, this can be easily removed by using light oil (such as WD40) and a fine grade wire wool. Many of our Iron products will age naturally and develop their own patina over time. Should any products arrive with a residue of wax, a wipe over with a cloth is advised.
