Pair Armchairs with Lady & The Unicorn Tapestries pair walnut woolwork %%alt5%% %%alt6%%
Fine pair of 18th.c. style carved walnut high back open armchairs c.1900. Backrest and seat upholstered in the original and well preserved woolwork tapestry covers woven after the great series of Flemish tapestries known as ‘The Lady & The Unicorn’. Shaped arms with carved acanthus leaf detail, large sprung seat raised on turned legs with carved lion’s paw feet and a carved and pierced front stretcher. Excellent condition, the frames have been cleaned and waxed in our workshops.

Regarded as one of the greatest surviving medeival artworks and now to be found in the Musée de Cluny in Paris, the Lady & The Unicorn tapestries are interpreted as representing the five senses plus love. Each features the same noble lady, a pennant with three crescent moons, a unicorn and lion – both important heraldic symbols. They are believed to have been produced in Flanders around 1500 for a member of the French noble family of Le Viste whose arms feature in the designs.
Dimensions: width 27″, depth 33″, height 47″. Please contact us for more images, delivery and shipping quotes.
