Unicorn tapestries, like the unicorn itself, are one of the marvels of the world, for in no other work of art anywhere is the pursuit and capture of this magical creature presented in such astonishing detail, with such command of pictorial verisimilitude and symbolic intention. In a duality not rare in the late middle ages, the imagery is secular and religious. The references to love, matrimonial fidelity and desire for progeny are understandable in an ensemble that may have celebrated a marriage. But the unicorn, at the same, is Christ, and the compositions reflect the Incarnation, the Passion, and the Resurrection. Gabriel, the angel of the Annunciation, is one of the hunters; the unicorn loses his fierceness in the lap of the Virgin Mary: and thorny crown encircles his horn and neck when he is slain; and then the glorious creature is miraculously alive again and chained to a pomegranate tree, simultaneously an image of the risen Christ and of lover-bridegroom secured by his adored lady. Our European tapestry wall hangings make great gifts for any occasion. They are gifts that you will be long remembered by. A European tapestry wall hanging will be cherished forever and will be a heirloom in the making.
