Bring the beauty and romance of medieval European art into your home with the Lady Clare Pallas Tapestry Wastebasket, inspired by the celebrated Lady and the Unicorn tapestries.
Considered among the great surviving masterpieces of medieval European art, The Lady and the Unicorn is a remarkable series of six tapestries created in Flanders around the turn of the 16th century. Today, the original tapestries are preserved at the Musée de Cluny – National Museum of the Middle Ages in Paris.
The tapestries are renowned for their richly detailed scenes featuring an elegantly dressed lady accompanied by a unicorn and lion, surrounded by flowers, trees, animals and heraldic imagery. Five of the tapestries are traditionally associated with the five senses—sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch—while the mysterious sixth tapestry, À mon seul désir (“To My Only Desire”), has inspired centuries of interpretation.
Lady Clare’s Pallas Tapestry Collection draws inspiration from this extraordinary artistic tradition, bringing the rich colors, intricate imagery and romance of medieval tapestry art into the home.
Since 1932, Lady Clare has been known for creating distinctive English home accessories combining beautiful artwork with traditional British craftsmanship. The Pallas Tapestry Wastebasket continues that tradition, transforming a practical everyday object into an elegant decorative accent.
Standing approximately 11 inches high, the wastebasket is ideally sized for placement beside a writing desk, reading chair or bedside table. Its richly detailed medieval-inspired imagery makes it particularly beautiful in an English Country House, French Country interior, traditional library, study, bedroom or historically inspired home.
Its unusual design also makes the Pallas Tapestry Wastebasket an exceptional gift for an art lover, medieval history enthusiast, Francophile, museum lover or collector of traditional European decorative arts.
Pair it with coordinating Lady Clare Pallas Tapestry Placemats, Tablemats, Coasters and Serving Tray to create an elegant collection inspired by one of Europe's great artistic treasures.
