The Met Store Unicorn in a Garden Silk Necktie – Medieval Tapestry Museum Art Tie – 100% Silk

🦄 The Met Store Unicorn in a Garden Silk Necktie – Medieval Tapestry Museum Art Tie – 100% Silk

A wonderfully distinctive silk necktie from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, featuring the celebrated Unicorn in a Garden design inspired by the medieval Unicorn Tapestries at The Met Cloisters. 🦄🌿

Set against a rich crimson-red ground, the design is filled with flowering plants, foliage, trees and graceful unicorns in shades of ivory, blue, green and soft pink. The exceptionally detailed pattern gives the tie the appearance of a miniature medieval tapestry.

This is a beautiful choice for an art lover, museum enthusiast, collector of unusual silk ties, or anyone looking for something considerably more interesting than the standard business tie. It also makes a wonderful gift. 🎁

🏛️ THE DESIGN

The motif is inspired by The Unicorn Rests in a Garden, part of the famous late-15th/early-16th-century Unicorn Tapestries associated with The Met Cloisters in New York.

The elaborate millefleurs-style garden translates particularly beautifully onto silk, with tiny flowers and botanical details surrounding the unicorn imagery.
