The Lady and the Unicorn tapestries are a wonderfully delicate and enchanting set of six panels, which hung originally in the castle of Boussac. The tapestries show a lady and her handmaiden with a unicorn. Each of five panels represents one of the five senses: Sight (the lady holds a mirror in her right hand in which the unicorn in reflected); Hearing (the lady plays a positif, a portable organ, the bellows of which are worked by a maidservant); Smell (the lady is weaving a garland of flowers and holds by the tip of her fingers, a carnation that she has just taken from the maidservants basket), Taste (the right hand of the lady takes a piece of confectionery from a dish offered to her by the maidservant) and Touch (the lady holds a standard bearing the arms of the patron in her right hand and touches the unicorns horn with her left hand). The sixth panel, A Mon Seul Desir tapestry (To My Only Desire), shows the lady returning a necklace to a box held out by the maid. The title, which has been subject of much speculation in the past, is now taken to mean "according to my will only", which is to say governed by reason not passion and seems to present an apology for free will and self-control.

These famous unicorn tapestries were woven c.1490-1500 and are now on display in the Musee de Cluny in Paris.
The Lady and the Unicorn tapestries, astonishingly, have kept most of their wonderful blue and red background and the colors of the clothes and the mille fleurs. Both in the design and in the weaving, they have a unique flavour.
The Lady and the Unicorn tapestries have been surrounded by many romantic theories about who commissioned them. One legend says that they were made for the wedding of Prince Zizim who had the tapestry woven for his lady love while he was in prison. Another one states that they represent Margaret of York, third wife of Charles the Bold of France.
We also offer a collection of Unicorn pictures for your décor. Unicorn pictures are often used in home interiors to symbolize purity, charity and meekness. The Unicorn (from Latin unus 'one' and cornu 'horn') is a legendary creature whose power is exceeded only by its mystery. The Unicorn is a horse-type animal with a single horn. During the Middle Ages a fable was told that although the Unicorn was impossible to hunt down, it was so impressed by the presence of a lovely virgin that it would run up to her and submissively lay its head in her lap. Unicorn pictures were very popular in the Middle Ages.
