Large Antique Tapestry, French, Needlepoint %%alt5%% %%alt6%%
This is a large antique tapestry. A French, needlepoint scene depicting The Lady and the Unicorn, dating to the early 20th century, circa 1920.

Of superior proportion, this tapestry is a quality recreation of the 15th century renaissance series of tapestries known as Dame a la L'icorne (The Lady and the Unicorn). A series of six, this fascinating tapestry represents the central element of the whole - La Gout (The Sense of Taste).

Generously sized for decorative wall mounting at 5' 8" x 4' 5" (167cm x 138cm)
Displaying a desirably aged patina
Quality needlepoint tapestry, issuing copious fascinations and in very good order
Beautiful colour palette in shades of reds and greens a sight to behold

The lady and her courtier sit between a lion and the titular unicorn
Large fruiting trees, framed by heraldic flags stand within a bountiful garden
Other small animals are present, the allegorical monkey experiencing the sense of taste from his stolen treat

Label to rear offers the maker's mark of Artis Flora and key details of the piece in hand-written French
Subject - The Lady and the Unicorn (The Sense of Taste) Period - end of the 15th Century
Dressed to the rear with six hanging mounts for ease of wall display

This is a highly decorative, large antique tapestry with beautiful renaissance taste and appealing to collectors of Francophile or historical interest. The proportion affords a striking wall covering for the grandest rooms and is sure to spark conversation at dinner parties. Delivered ready to enjoy.
