Flower Garden
Many different plants and flowers make up a medieval flower garden. Hundreds of tiny flowers often filled the background of late 15th and early 16th century French and Flemish tapestries and this came to be known as mille-fleurs, literally ‘thousand flowers’. Animals, birds and figures were woven into the designs. The most famous of these is the series of six panels titled The Lady and the Unicorn, currently exhibited in the Cluny Museum in Paris. A further series of seven panels entitled The Hunt of the Unicorn is in the Metropolitan Museum in New York.

Imperfect tiles are slightly below the high standards of our perfect tiles. These tiles are a great way to add to your collection and saves £6 per tile against the price of perfect tiles. An imperfect tile will have a small defect of some kind, such as a crack or surface blemish. A crack will not be easy to spot from the front but is likely to be more obvious from the back. You are welcome to contact us before purchasing an imperfect tile to ask about the defects.
