The last and most famous tapestry in a series of seven famous tapestries depicting the story of the hunt, slaughter, and resurrection of a unicorn. They were woven around 1500 and are now stored in the Metropolitan Museum, New York (apart from the 5th in the series, which is in a state of disrepair).

The unicorn is apparently chained to a tree, yet closer inspection shows the chain not to be attached. The fence surrounding him is also easily bounded over, yet the unicorn seems content to sit, surrounded by lucious fruits.

A supreme quality Tapestry woven (not printed!) in Flanders, Belgium, using Jacquard Looms. Belgium has a long history of producing beautiful Tapestry art.

Hundreds of meters of dyed cotton, wool, or metallic threads are used to tightly weave a tapestry.

82% Cotton, 9% Wool, 5% Polyacrylic, 4% Polyamide

All our tapestries are lined with cotton on the back and feature a tunnel through which a pole or rod can be inserted for easy hanging. More details on how to hang your tapestry here.

About Our Tapestries

Our tapestries are woven in Flanders, Belgium, using Jacquard Looms. These looms are modern versions of those invented in the early 1800s by Joseph Marie Jacquard. These modern versions still use the same techniques invented 200 years ago.

Due to the nature of this manufacturing process, and the natural qualities of the materials used, each Tapestry is unique. Most of the tapestries are made from wool and cotton, so retain the same look and feel as the originals, yet benefit from modern synthetic fibres to add strength, stability and in some cases, metallic golden hints.

You can rest-assured that our tapestries are woven carefully and intricately, and are not just screen prints! They are bona fide woven replicas of original tapestry designs (many of which can be seen in museums all over the world), as well as some interesting new designs.

The back of each tapestry is lined with a cotton canvas, and features an information certificate.

Small and medium sized tapestries make great, eye-catching alternatives to hung pictures, and will certainly providing a talking point!

Please note that all sizes listed on this web site are approximate. Due to the natural materials used in tapestries, and the weaving process itself, sizes can vary by up to a few centimeters on the larger tapestries.
