Abstract The tapestries illustrating the "Hunt of the unicorn" at the The Cloisters, woven in the southern Netherlands between about 1495 and 1505, include six complete panels and three fragments. When the galleries at The Cloisters were renovated in 1998, the tapestries and the three fragments were taken down, providing the opportunity for close examination and study, as well as some conservation work. In 2004 the fragments were again removed from the galleries and analyzed further for identification of the weave, yarns, and dyes. Upon completion of this survey, fragile areas were reinforced and then the three fragments were remounted and reinstalled, rejoining the six complete tapestries. These haunting hangings are among the most celebrated and cherished works of art from western Europe, and their conservation is therefore of considerable importance. [Publication Abstract]
