A mon seul désir, Tapisserie Jules Pansu

The tapestry "A Mon Seul Désir" represents the last piece of the six hangings of the Lady of the Unicorn, five of which represent the five senses.

"A mon seul désir" represents the refusal of the jewels, which testifies to the moral strength of the Lady, able to master the power of her senses.

Other symbols evoking the five senses are represented: the lion and the unicorn holding the coat of arms are the emblem of strength and purity. They also represent the union of the fiancé and fiancée. Hearing is represented by the organ.

This scene is linked to the "Thousand Flowers" group by its background of flowers known as "Bord de Loire". At the time, the upholsterers were attracted by the orders of the French Court which was settled in the Loire Valley.

Composition : 62% wool, 21% cotton, 11% viscose, 6% polyester for the 95x115cm tapestry
