A series of six tapestries that are undoubtedly the finest examples of textile art that survive from the Middle Ages.  They were discovered badly damaged in 1844 by the writer, Georges Sand and later obtained by the Cluny Museum, Paris who have sensitively repaired and restored them.  The theme of the set is the five human senses:  taste, touch, sight, hearing and smell.  The sixth is called “To My Sole Desire” and shows the Lady beneath a beautiful canopy with the Unicorn to one side.  It is thought they were originally woven for a French Nobleman, Jean Le Viste, probably sometime between 1484 and 1500.
