“La Dame à la Licorne” — Silvered bronze box by Line Vautrin
France, circa 1940–1950
One of the most poetic creations by Line Vautrin.
Crafted in silvered bronze, this box features a stylized female figure standing beneath a series of horizontal lines reminiscent of a curtain or tapestry, a subtle reference to the celebrated medieval cycle The Lady and the Unicorn.
Inspired by the famous tapestries preserved at the Musée de Cluny in Paris, Vautrin revisits a timeless symbol of poetry, desire and refinement through her own singular visual language. Reduced to its essential forms, the medieval narrative is transformed into a sculptural composition of remarkable elegance and mystery.
A beautiful example of Line Vautrin’s ability to weave together history, symbolism and imagination, creating objects that continue to resonate across generations.
Lined with cork.
Stamped “LINE VAUTRIN” on the reverse.
