This is perhaps the most famous Unicorn tapestry ever produced.The unicorn represents the beloved tamed. He is tethered to a tree and constrained by a fence, but the chain is not secure and the fence is low enough to leap over.
The unicorn could escape if he wished. Clearly, however, his confinement is a happy one, to which the ripe, seed-laden pomegranates in the tree a medieval symbol of fertility and marriage-testify.
The original hangs in the Metropolitan Museum in New York. It is a truly stunning piece, that will look magnificent in your home.
Licorne Captive is 60 x 44 inches. It comes fully lined and finished with a tapestry rod sleeve for easy hanging.
The Unicorn is against a black background in which the colorful leaves of the tree stand out beautifully.
The fabric is Jacquard woven. This is a well-made, durable tapestry that you will be proud to display in your home.
