A Mon Seul Desir European Cushion Covers

A Mon Seul Desir woven European tapestry cushion cover features a scene from the "Lady and the Unicorn" series of Belgian tapestries. The unicorn and the lion are seen near the Lady and her hand maiden, putting her necklace into the chest held by her maiden. It is a detail from the work called A Mon Seul Desir. The origins and meanings of the tapestries remain a mystery, however they were thought to be created upon the request of the le Viste family which are represented by their heraldry in the flags.
