The famous Lady and the Unicorn Tapestry
series.
The Lady and the Unicorn tapestry series is
among the most beautiful wall hanging tapestry art treasures of the
world. They were woven around 1500, in the workshops of Flanders, using
the medieval style of mille fleurs, a "thousand flowers." These
pieces are prime examples of what a Unicorn Tapestry should be.
The Lady and the Unicorn Tapestry series was
woven at the turn of the 15th century in the Loire valley. It has
been estimated that 15,000 people were employed in the making of this
wall hanging tapestry.
The charming 'mille fleurs' scenes in the
unicorn tapestry were backgrounds of small local flowers, perhaps
inspired by the practice of covering roadways with flowers on local fete
days. A Unicorn tapestry wall hanging will provide years of lasting
quality with a very personal appeal.
A unicorn tapestry or wall hanging is a
fabulous creative expression and will create a decorative display in
almost every home setting. Spruce up your home decor with unicorn
tapestry. |
