Millefleur Velvet borrows its pattern from The Unicorn Rests in a Garden (1495-1505), a highlight of the collection at The Met Cloisters. Crafted with meticulous precision in a cut-and-epingle 100% cotton velvet weave, Millefleur Velvet evokes the charm and craftsmanship of the original medieval French and South Netherlandish tapestry. Its bold palette and intricate botanical detail captivate the discerning eye, paying homage to a true icon of medieval artistry.
This captivating collection, created in collaboration with The Met, draws on artworks and objects from across nine of The Met’s 17 curatorial departments to create a rich mosaic of historical narratives. Each design is a celebration of artisanship, inspired by exquisite forms and cultural traditions. Following our first collaboration with The Met in the 1970s, we bring museum magic into the home once again in homage to history and the grand beauty of art.
