A Medieval Masterpiece for Your Modern Home

This exquisite jacquard Weaving wall hanging draws inspiration from one of the most celebrated works of medieval art: The Hunt of the Unicorn (La Chasse à la licorne), a series of seven tapestries woven in the early 15th-16th century, likely in Paris or the Low Countries.

Historical Background

The original tapestries depict a group of noblemen and hunters pursuing a unicorn through an idealized French landscape. This particular scene captures the moment when the unicorn drinks at a fountain alongside other beasts, while hunters and hounds gradually close in. The composition showcases the iconic "millefleur" (thousand flowers) style—a hallmark of late medieval tapestry work—featuring delicate pansies, violets, wild bellflowers, and other wildflowers scattered across the background.

Now housed at The Cloisters in New York, these tapestries were first documented in 1680 at the La Rochefoucauld family residence in Paris. After being looted during the French Revolution, they were rediscovered in the 1850s hanging in a barn at the family's Château de Verteuil. Since then, they have sparked scholarly debate about their symbolic meaning, artistic origins, and intended sequence—with interpretations ranging from chivalric allegory to Christological symbolism.

Jacquard Weaving Craftsmanship

Our reproduction honors this legacy through premium jacquard weaving—a technique that allows complex, multi-colored patterns to be woven directly into the fabric structure. Unlike printed textiles, jacquard Weaving creates dimensional texture and exceptional durability, with intricate details visible on both sides of the fabric. This method echoes the painstaking handwoven techniques of the original 15th-century artisans, translated for contemporary looms.

Where to Display

Living Room: Create a dramatic focal point above a sofa or fireplace mantel. The rich medieval imagery pairs beautifully with both traditional and eclectic interiors, adding depth and narrative to your space.

Dining Room: Hang above a sideboard or along a feature wall to evoke the grandeur of medieval banquet halls. The tapestry's noble hunting scene sets an elegant tone for gatherings.

Library or Study: Perfect for spaces dedicated to contemplation and learning. The historical significance and intricate detail reward close viewing and spark conversation.

Bedroom: Transform your bedroom into a sanctuary with this serene yet majestic scene. Position it as a headboard alternative or on a wall opposite your bed for a view that inspires.

Hallway or Stairwell: Make a lasting impression in transitional spaces. The vertical composition works especially well in narrow areas, drawing the eye upward.
