This beautifully detailed vertical composition draws inspiration from the legendary late 15th-century The Hunt of the Unicorn textiles (famously housed at the Met Cloisters in New York City). The scene depicts a mythical narrative where a majestic white unicorn uses its magical horn to purify a woodland stream, while forest animals—including lions, a stag, and leopards—gather peacefully along the banks. The central fountain is surrounded by lush medieval mille-fleurs vegetation and a dense forest background, all framed by a classic, coordinate heraldic border in deep navy, crimson, cream, and muted gold tones.

Equipped with sturdy integrated fabric hanging loops at the top, this piece is fully ready to hang from your preferred decorative rod. Its rich color palette and classic historical narrative make it a spectacular statement piece for a library, grand entryway, dining room, or over a fireplace mantle. Sourced directly from an immaculate estate collection of textile connoisseurs.
