Stainless Steel Templar Heater Shield with Golden Cross
Symbolism and History: The Emblem of the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ
The central motif of the shield is a large brass Cross Pattée. The Templars wore this symbol on their mantles as a sign of martyrdom and unwavering faith. Although historically the cross was red on a white field, this exclusive "gold on steel" variation is designed for maximum aesthetic impact in both modern and classic interiors, symbolizing the wealth and power the order accumulated over the centuries.
The shape of the shield corresponds to the classic heater shield of the High Middle Ages. The top edge is elegantly shaped into three points, a style often seen in late Gothic heraldry. The border of decorative brass rivets adds historical authenticity to the piece.
Installation and Usage
The shield is designed exclusively as a wall decoration. The back is coated with protective paint and equipped with a sturdy metal chain. Installation is therefore very easy—simply hang it on a strong hook or nail. Thanks to the high polish of the steel, the shield acts like a mirror in the space, reflecting light and optically enlarging the room.

Care Instructions
Maintenance is minimal thanks to the high-quality stainless steel. Regularly dust the shield with a soft duster. To achieve a perfect shine and remove any fingerprints, use a soft microfiber cloth or a special stainless steel cleaner. Avoid using steel wool, abrasive cleaners, or harsh chemicals, as these could scratch the surface or tarnish the brass elements.
