Chasse à la licorne – Unicorn Hunt

Kollektion 2017

Original text of Saint-Louis:
Legend has it that the height of the French Renaissance, a unicorn has tracked and hunted through the forests by knights, lords and dogs. Today all that remains of this mythical tale it is a series of tapestries. Saint-Louis drew inspiration from this story to create a fairytale paperweight.
Representing a pack of dogs, the millefiori background is composed of eight different coloured rods that were specifically produced for this paperweight with a black dog motif.
The blowtorch technique was used to fashion the unicorn and the forest, suggesting a fantastical realm. The white unicorn with twisted horn is adorned with a black and white name. The realism of the chartreuse-green, green and brown trees contrasts with mythical creature.
