Lady and the Unicorn A Mon Seul Desir tapestry depicts the best-known scene of the series: a young noblewoman and her servant, flanked by a unicorn and a lion on a red ground filled with flowers and animals. The six original tapestries, woven around 1500 and now at the Musée de Cluny in Paris, bear the arms of Jean Le Viste.
Five represent the senses, while the sixth, A Mon Seul Desir (‘to my only desire’), has a meaning that is still debated. This jacquard woven reproduction brings that richness to a living room, dining room or library. Its rich red ground and detailed millefleur background make it a striking focal point, especially in traditional and old world interiors.
