A very fine piece from the tapestry called "La Dame à la Licorne" (The Lady with the Unicorn). This set is made up of 6 tapestries. Five scenes illustrate the five senses and the sixth is called "A mon seul désir" (To my sole desire). This tapestry is on display at the Cluny Museum. It is quite likely to have been designed in Paris and woven in Brussels around 1470 for Jean Veste. The lady is taking sweets from a dish held by a maidservant. Her eyes are on a parakeet on her upheld left hand. The lion and the unicorn are both standing on their hind legs reaching up to pennants that frame the lady on either side. The monkey is at her feet, eating one of the sweetmeats.
Each tapestry is delivered lined and ready to hang up on wall. A certificate of authenticity is affixed on the back.

Data sheet
- Weaving stitch:
- Jacquard loom from Craye
- Theme:
- The Lady and the Unicorn
The Craye family’s weaving workshop was founded around the Year 1880 in the tapestry historic birthplace area of Flanders where it still pursues the famous tradition of master weavers in this region. Craye naturally came to specialize in the reproduction of wall tapestries by recreating the style of weaving from the 14th & 15th Centuries, but they also worked on a wide selection of adapted paintings of all times. We selected in this rich collection the most beautiful pieces which have been created, going from the Medieval period to the Art nouveau by way of the Romantic and the Impressionism.
You will find in each tapestry the wealth of an exclusive point of weaving, and the quality of a unique knowledge, using noble materials such as wool and cotton, weaved on true original Jacquard looms.
