16th century Flemish mille-fleur tapestry featuring a unicorn at the centre, in the Victoria and Albert Museum

The mille-fleur (or 'thousand flowers') style of tapestry is named for its intricate pattern of flowers and leaves. As in this case, the mille-fleur design is usually punctuated with various birds and animals hiding in the foliage.
